Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

and 3 members each of whom shall serve for 4 years from the
first Monday of the month following his election. At the first such election
those elected shall, by lot, determine one to serve for 2 years and 2 for
4 years; thereafter all terms shall be for 4 years. When a vacancy occurs
on the board, the remaining members shall, within 30 days, fill the
vacancy by appointment until the next regular election for members of the board.
Within 10 days after the commencement of their terms the members of the
board shall meet and organize by electing one of their number president.
Notwithstanding any provision of Article 7 the non-high school board
shall remain in existence after the elimination of all the non-high
school territory of the county for which it was elected until it
prepares for and delivers to the county clerk a final statement showing
the amount of debts or obligations, other than bonded indebtedness, of
the district, the date upon which such debts or obligations were
incurred and to whom the obligations run, together with a map showing
the extent of the territory on such dates.
This section does not prevent the organization of any territory of
non-high school districts into community high school districts.

they may lawfully attend to the most convenient high school which such

Sec. 12-12.
Anticipation warrants.
When there is no money in the treasury
of any non-high school
district to defray the necessary expenses of the district, including
amounts necessary to pay maturing principal and interest of bonds, the
board of education may issue warrants or may provide a fund to meet the
expenses by issuing and disposing of warrants drawn against and in
anticipation of any taxes levied for the payment of such expenses,
either for educational or building purposes or for the payment of
maturing principal and interest of bonds, to the extent of 85% of the
total amount of the tax so levied. The warrants shall show upon their
faces that they are payable, in the numerical order of their issuance,
solely from such taxes when collected, and shall be received by any
collector of taxes in payment of the taxes against which they are
issued, and such taxes shall be set apart and held for their payment.
Every warrant shall bear interest payable only out of the taxes
against which it is drawn, at the rate of not more than the maximum rate
authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the
making of the contract, for
warrants issued before January 1, 1972 and not more than the maximum rate
authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the
making of the contract,
for warrants issued after January 1, 1972, from the date of its issuance
until paid or until notice is given by publication in a newspaper or
otherwise that the money for its payment is available and that it will
be paid on presentation, unless a lower rate of interest shall be
specified therein, in which case the interest shall be computed and paid
at the lower rate.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear
to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary
authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments
issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of
this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.
