9plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
10denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
11value of all real property in the territory under the
12jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.
13For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
14extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest
15aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years
16shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate.
17The denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
18tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
19limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
20after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
21limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
22or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
23case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
24the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
25proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
26specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of

2In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum
3approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the
4limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that
5generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for
6that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the
7voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county
8clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for
9tax year 2012.

1days for those public schools engaged in block scheduling, in
2courses of physical education for such periods as are

20reasons: (1) for ongoing participation in an interscholastic
21athletic program; (2) to enroll in academic classes which are
22required for admission to an institution of higher learning,
23provided that failure to take such classes will result in the
24pupil being denied admission to the institution of his or her
25choice; or (3) to enroll in academic classes which are required
26for graduation from high school, provided that failure to take

 

 

10000SB0013sam002- 72 -LRB100 06355 HLH 18733 a

5courses. School boards which choose to exercise this authority
6shall establish a policy to excuse pupils on an individual
7basis.

3to complete the entire course within 12 months after being
4allowed to commence such classroom instruction.
5    A school district may offer a driver education course in a
6school by contracting with a commercial driver training school
7to provide both the classroom instruction part and the practice
8driving part or either one without having to request a
9modification or waiver of administrative rules of the State
10Board of Education if a public hearing on whether to enter into
11a contract with a commercial driver training school has been
12held at a regular or special school board meeting prior to
13entering into such a contract. If a school district chooses to
14contract with a commercial driver training school, then the
15district must provide evidence to the State Board of Education
16that the commercial driver training school with which it will
17contract holds a license issued by the Secretary of State under
18Article IV of Chapter 6 of the Illinois Vehicle Code and that
19each instructor employed by the commercial driver training
20school to provide instruction to students served by the school
21district holds a valid teaching license issued under the
22requirements of this Code and rules of the State Board of
23Education. Such evidence must include, but need not be limited
24to, a list of each instructor assigned to teach students served
25by the school district, which list shall include the
26instructor's name, personal identification number as required

 

 

10000SB0013sam002- 77 -LRB100 06355 HLH 18733 a

2license number. Once the contract is entered into, the school
3district shall notify the State Board of Education of any
4changes in the personnel providing instruction within 15

6instructor is hired. Such notification shall include the
7instructor's name, personal identification number as required
8by the State Board of Education, birth date, and driver's
9license number. If the school district maintains an Internet
10website, then the district shall post a copy of the final
11contract between the district and the commercial driver
12training school on the district's Internet website. If no
13Internet website exists, then the school district shall make
14available the contract upon request. A record of all materials
15in relation to the contract must be maintained by the school
16district and made available to parents and guardians upon
17request. The instructor's date of birth and driver's license
18number and any other personally identifying information as
19deemed by the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994
20must be redacted from any public materials.
21    Such a course may be commenced immediately after the
22completion of a prior course. Teachers of such courses shall
23meet the licensure certification requirements of this Code Act

1to students who participate in the course, unless a student is
2unable to pay for such a course, in which event the fee for
3such a student must be waived. However, the district may
4increase this fee to an amount not to exceed $250 by school
5board resolution following a public hearing on the increase,
6which increased fee must be waived for students who participate
7in the course and are unable to pay for the course. The total
8amount from driver education fees and reimbursement from the
9State for driver education must not exceed the total cost of
10the driver education program in any year and must be deposited
11into the school district's driver education fund as a separate
12line item budget entry. All moneys deposited into the school
13district's driver education fund must be used solely for the
14funding of a high school driver education program approved by
15the State Board of Education that uses driver education
16instructors endorsed by the State Board of Education.
