|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:

| Sec. 18-8.10. Fast growth grants.
|
| 8 |
| (a) If there has been an increase in a school district's |
| 9 |
| student population over any 2 consecutive school years of (i) |
| 10 |
| over 1.5% in a district with over 10,000 pupils in average |
| 11 |
| daily attendance (as defined in Section 18-8.05 of this Code) |
| 12 |
| or (ii) over 10% in any other district, then the district is |
| 13 |
| eligible for a grant under this Section, subject to |
| 14 |
| appropriation. |
| 15 |
| (b) The State Board of Education shall determine a per |
| 16 |
| pupil grant amount for each school district based on the needs |
| 17 |
| of the district. The total grant amount for a district for any |
| 18 |
| given school year shall equal the per pupil grant amount |
| 19 |
| multiplied by the difference between the number of pupils in |
| 20 |
| average daily attendance for the first 3 months of the school |
| 21 |
| year and the number of pupils in average daily attendance for |
| 22 |
| the immediately preceding school year. |
| 23 |
| (c) Funds for grants under this Section must be |
| 24 |
| appropriated to the State Board of Education in a separate line |
| 25 |
| item for this purpose. If the amount appropriated in any fiscal |
| 26 |
| year is insufficient to pay all grants for a school year, then |
| 27 |
| the amount appropriated shall be prorated among eligible |
| 28 |
| districts. As soon as possible after funds have been |
| 29 |
| appropriated to the State Board of Education, the State Board |
| 30 |
| of Education shall distribute the grants to eligible districts. |
| 31 |
| (d) If a school district intentionally reports incorrect |
