    AN ACT concerning education.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Sections
18-8.2 and 18-8.5 as follows:
 
    (105 ILCS 5/18-8.2)  (from Ch. 122, par. 18-8.2)
    Sec. 18-8.2. Supplementary State aid for new and for
certain annexing districts and for cooperative high schools.
    (a) After the formation of a new district, a computation
shall be made to determine the difference between the salaries
effective in each of the previously existing districts on June
30, prior to the creation of the new district. For the first 4
years after the formation of the new district or if the new
district was formed after October 31, 1982 and prior to the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, for the 3 years
immediately following such effective date, a supplementary
State aid reimbursement shall be paid to the new district equal
to the difference between the sum of the salaries earned by
each of the certificated members of the new district while
employed in one of the previously existing districts during the
year immediately preceding the formation of the new district
and the sum of the salaries those certificated members would
have been paid during the year immediately prior to the
formation of the new district if placed on the salary schedule
of the previously existing district with the highest salary
schedule.
    (b) After the territory of one or more school districts is
annexed by one or more other school districts, or after the
division (pursuant to petition under Section 11A-2) of a unit
school district or districts into 2 or more parts which all are
included in 2 or more other community unit districts resulting
upon that division, a computation shall be made to determine
the difference between the salaries effective in each such
annexed or divided district and in the annexing or resulting
district or districts as they each were constituted on June 30
preceding the date when the change of boundaries attributable
to such annexation or division became effective for all
purposes as determined under Section 7-9, 7A-8 or 11A-10. For
the first 4 years after any such annexation or division, a
supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be paid to each
annexing or resulting district as constituted after the
annexation or division equal to the difference between the sum
of the salaries earned by each of the certificated members of
such annexing or resulting district as constituted after the
annexation or division while employed in an annexed or annexing
district, or in a divided or resulting district, during the
year immediately preceding the annexation or division, and the
sum of the salaries those certificated members would have been
paid during such immediately preceding year if placed on the
salary schedule of whichever of such annexing or annexed
districts, or resulting or divided districts, had the highest
salary schedule during such immediately preceding year.
    (b-5) After the formation of a cooperative high school by 2
or more school districts under Section 10-22.22c of this Code,
a computation shall be made to determine the difference between
the salaries effective in each of the previously existing high
schools on June 30 prior to the formation of the cooperative
high school. For the first 4 years after the formation of the
cooperative high school, a supplementary State aid
reimbursement shall be paid to the cooperative high school
equal to the difference between the sum of the salaries earned
by each of the certificated members of the cooperative high
school while employed in one of the previously existing high
schools during the year immediately preceding the formation of
the cooperative high school and the sum of the salaries those
certificated members would have been paid during the year
immediately prior to the formation of the cooperative high
school if placed on the salary schedule of the previously
existing high school with the highest salary schedule.
    (c) Such supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be
treated as separate from all other payments made pursuant to
Section 18-8 or 18-8.05. In the case of the formation of a new
district or cooperative high school, reimbursement shall begin
during the first year of operation of the new district or
cooperative high school; and in the case of an annexation of
the territory of one or more school districts by one or more
other school districts, or the division (pursuant to petition
under Section 11A-2) of a unit school district or districts
into 2 or more parts which all are included in 2 or more other
community unit districts resulting upon that division,
reimbursement shall begin during the first year when the change
in boundaries attributable to such annexation or division
becomes effective for all purposes as determined pursuant to
Section 7-9, 7A-8 or 11A-10. Each year any such new, annexing
or resulting district or cooperative high school, as the case
may be, is entitled to receive reimbursement, the number of
eligible certified members who are employed on October 1 in any
such district or cooperative high school shall be certified to
the State Board of Education on prescribed forms by October 15
and payment shall be made on or before November 15 of that
year.
    (d) If a unit school district annexes all the territory of
another unit school district effective for all purposes
pursuant to Section 7-9 on July 1, 1988, and if part of the
annexed territory is detached within 90 days after July 1,
1988, then the detachment shall be disregarded in computing the
supplementary State aid reimbursements under this Section for
the entire 3 year period and the supplementary State aid
reimbursements shall not be diminished because of the
detachment.
    (e) The changes made by this amendatory Act of 1989 are
intended to be retroactive and applicable to any annexation
taking effect after August 1, 1987.

    (105 ILCS 5/18-8.5)  (from Ch. 122, par. 18-8.5)
    Sec. 18-8.5. Supplementary State aid for new, annexing or
resulting districts and for cooperative high schools.
    (a) Following the formation of a new school district
pursuant to Article 11A or 11B, or of a new elementary school
district pursuant to Article 7A, or the annexation of all of
the territory of one or more entire school districts by one or
more other school districts, or the division pursuant to
petition under Section 11A-2 of a unit school district or
districts into 2 or more parts which all are included in 2 or
more other community unit districts resulting upon that
division, a supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be paid
for the number of school years determined under the following
table to each new, annexing or resulting district equal to the
sum of $4,000 for each certified employee who is employed by
such district on a full-time basis for the regular term of any
such school year:

The State Board of Education shall make a one-time calculation
of a reorganized district's quintile ranks. The average daily
attendance used in this calculation shall be the best 3 months'
average daily attendance for the district's first year. The
equalized assessed value per pupil shall be the district's real
property equalized assessed value used in calculating the
district's first-year general State aid claim divided by the
best 3 months' average daily attendance.
    No annexing or resulting school district shall be entitled
to supplementary State aid under this Section unless such
district acquires at least 30% of the average daily attendance
of the district from which the territory is being detached or
divided.
    If a district results from multiple reorganizations that
would otherwise qualify the district for multiple payments
under this Section in any year, the district shall receive a
single payment only for that year based solely on the most
recent reorganization.
    (a-5) Following the formation of a cooperative high school
by 2 or more school districts under Section 10-22.22c of this
Code, a supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be paid for
3 school years to the cooperative high school equal to the sum
of $4,000 for each certified employee who is employed by the
cooperative high school on a full-time basis for the regular
term of any such school year. If a cooperative high school
results from multiple agreements that would otherwise qualify
the cooperative high school for multiple payments under this
Section in any year, the cooperative high school shall receive
a single payment for that year based solely on the most recent
agreement.
    (b) The supplementary State aid reimbursement payable
under this Section shall be separate from and in addition to
all other payments made to the district pursuant to any other
Section of this Article.
    (c) During May of each school year for which a
supplementary State aid reimbursement is to be paid to a new,
annexing or resulting school district or cooperative high
school pursuant to this Section, the school board or governing
board shall certify to the State Board of Education, on forms
furnished to the school board or governing board by the State
Board of Education for purposes of this Section, the number of
certified employees for which the district or cooperative high
school is entitled to reimbursement under this Section,
together with the names, certificate numbers and positions held
by such certified employees.
    (d) Upon certification by the State Board of Education to
the State Comptroller of the amount of the supplementary State
aid reimbursement to which a school district or cooperative
high school is entitled by this Section, the State Comptroller
shall draw his warrant upon the State Treasurer for the payment
thereof to the school district or cooperative high school and
shall promptly transmit the payment to the school district or
cooperative high school through the appropriate school
treasurer.
    (e) The changes to this Section made by P.A. 88-555 shall
apply to all reorganizations for which the petitions are filed
with the regional board of school trustees or the regional
superintendent, as the case may be, on or after January 1,
1995.
