 1        AN  ACT  to  amend  the  School Code by changing Sections
 2    14-7.02, 14-7.02a, 14-12.01, 14-13.01, and 18-4.3.

 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section  5.  The  School  Code  is  amended  by  changing
 6    Sections 14-7.02, 14-7.02a, 14-12.01, 14-13.01, and 18-4.3 as
 7    follows:

 8        (105 ILCS 5/14-7.02) (from Ch. 122, par. 14-7.02)
 9        Sec. 14-7.02.  Children attending private schools, public
10    out-of-state schools, public school residential facilities or
11    private  special  education facilities.  The General Assembly
12    recognizes  that  non-public  schools  or  special  education
13    facilities provide an important service  in  the  educational
14    system in Illinois.
15        If because of his or her disability the special education
16    program  of a district is unable to meet the needs of a child
17    and  the  child  attends  a  non-public  school  or   special
18    education facility, a public out-of-state school or a special
19    education  facility owned and operated by a county government
20    unit that provides special educational services  required  by
21    the child and is in compliance with the appropriate rules and
22    regulations  of  the  State  Superintendent of Education, the
23    school district in which the child is a  resident  shall  pay
24    the  actual cost of tuition for special education and related
25    services provided during the regular school term  and  during
26    the  summer  school  term if the child's educational needs so
27    require,  excluding  room,  board  and  transportation  costs
28    charged the  child  by  that  non-public  school  or  special
29    education  facility,  public  out-of-state  school  or county
30    special education facility, or $4,500 per year, whichever  is
31    less,  and  shall  provide  him any necessary transportation.
 
                            -2-                LRB9101979NTsb
 1    "Nonpublic  special  education  facility"  shall  include   a
 2    residential   facility,   within  or  without  the  State  of
 3    Illinois,  which  provides  special  education  and   related
 4    services  to meet the needs of the child by utilizing private
 5    schools or public schools, whether located on the site or off
 6    the site of the residential facility.
 7        The State Board of Education shall promulgate  rules  and
 8    regulations  for  determining  when  placement  in  a private
 9    special education facility is appropriate.   Such  rules  and
10    regulations  shall  take  into  account  the various types of
11    services needed by a  child  and  the  availability  of  such
12    services  to  the  particular  child in the public school. In
13    developing these rules and regulations  the  State  Board  of
14    Education   shall   consult  with  the  Advisory  Council  on
15    Education of  Children  with  Disabilities  and  hold  public
16    hearings  to  secure  recommendations  from  parents,  school
17    personnel, and others concerned about this matter.
18        The  State Board of Education shall also promulgate rules
19    and regulations for transportation to and from a  residential
20    school.  Transportation  to  and  from  home to a residential
21    school more than once each school term shall  be  subject  to
22    prior approval by the State Superintendent in accordance with
23    the rules and regulations of the State Board.
24        A  school  district  making  tuition payments pursuant to
25    this Section is eligible for reimbursement from the State for
26    the amount of such payments actually made in  excess  of  the
27    district per capita tuition charge for students not receiving
28    special  education  services.  Such  reimbursement  shall  be
29    approved   in  accordance  with  Section  14-12.01  and  each
30    district shall file its claims, computed in  accordance  with
31    rules  prescribed  by  the State Board of Education, with the
32    regional superintendent of schools on or before August 1, for
33    approval on forms prescribed by the State  Superintendent  of
34    Education.   Data  used  as  a  basis of reimbursement claims
 
                            -3-                LRB9101979NTsb
 1    shall be for the preceding regular  school  term  and  summer
 2    school  term.   The  regional superintendent of schools shall
 3    approve the claims as to form and transmit the claims to  the
 4    State  Board  of Education on or before August 15.  The State
 5    Board of Education, before approving any such  claims,  shall
 6    determine  their  accuracy  and  whether  they are based upon
 7    services and facilities  provided  under  approved  programs.
 8    Upon  approval  the  State  Board  shall cause vouchers to be
 9    prepared showing the amount due for payment of  reimbursement
10    claims  to  school  districts,  for  transmittal to the State
11    Comptroller on the  30th  day  of  September,  December,  and
12    March,  respectively,  and  the  final voucher, no later than
13    June 20. If the money appropriated by  the  General  Assembly
14    for  such  purpose  for any year is insufficient, it shall be
15    apportioned on the basis of the claims approved.
16        No child shall be placed in a special  education  program
17    pursuant  to  this  Section  if  the tuition cost for special
18    education and related services increases more than 10 percent
19    over the tuition cost for the previous school year or exceeds
20    $4,500 per year unless such costs have been approved  by  the
21    Illinois   Purchased   Care    Review  Board.   The  Illinois
22    Purchased Care Review Board shall consist  of  the  following
23    persons,  or  their designees:  the Directors of Children and
24    Family Services, Public Health, Public Aid, and the Bureau of
25    the Budget;  the  Secretary  of  Human  Services;  the  State
26    Superintendent  of  Education;  and such other persons as the
27    Governor may  designate.  The Review  Board  shall  establish
28    rules  and  regulations  for  its  determination of allowable
29    costs and payments made by local school districts for special
30    education,  room  and  board,  and  other  related   services
31    provided   by   non-public   schools   or  special  education
32    facilities and shall establish uniform standards and criteria
33    which it shall follow.
34        The Review Board shall establish uniform definitions  and
 
                            -4-                LRB9101979NTsb
 1    criteria for accounting separately by special education, room
 2    and  board and other related services costs.  The Board shall
 3    also establish guidelines for the  coordination  of  services
 4    and  financial  assistance  provided by all State agencies to
 5    assure that no otherwise qualified disabled  child  receiving
 6    services   under   Article   14   shall   be   excluded  from
 7    participation in, be denied the benefits of or  be  subjected
 8    to  discrimination  under any program or activity provided by
 9    any State agency.
10        The Review Board  shall  review  the  costs  for  special
11    education and related services provided by non-public schools
12    or   special   education  facilities  and  shall  approve  or
13    disapprove such facilities in accordance with the  rules  and
14    regulations  established  by  it  with  respect  to allowable
15    costs.
16        The State Board of Education shall provide administrative
17    and staff support for the Review Board as  deemed  reasonable
18    by the State Superintendent of Education.  This support shall
19    not  include  travel  expenses  or other compensation for any
20    Review Board member other than the  State  Superintendent  of
21    Education.
22        The  Review  Board  shall seek the advice of the Advisory
23    Council on Education of Children  with  Disabilities  on  the
24    rules  and  regulations  to  be promulgated by it relative to
25    providing special education services.
26        If a child has been placed in  a  program  in  which  the
27    actual  per  pupil costs of tuition for special education and
28    related services based on program enrollment, excluding room,
29    board and transportation costs, exceed $4,500 and such  costs
30    have  been  approved  by the Review Board, the district shall
31    pay such total costs which exceed $4,500.  A district  making
32    such  tuition  payments  in excess of $4,500 pursuant to this
33    Section shall be responsible  for  an  amount  in  excess  of
34    $4,500  equal  to  the district per capita tuition charge and
 
                            -5-                LRB9101979NTsb
 1    shall be eligible for reimbursement from the  State  for  the
 2    amount  of  such  payments  actually  made  in  excess of the
 3    districts  per  capita  tuition  charge  for   students   not
 4    receiving special education services.
 5        If  a  child  has  been  placed in an approved individual
 6    program and the tuition costs including room and board  costs
 7    have  been  approved  by the Review Board, then such room and
 8    board costs shall be paid by  the  appropriate  State  agency
 9    subject  to  the  provisions  of Section 14-8.01 of this Act.
10    Room and board costs not provided by  a  State  agency  other
11    than  the  State  Board of Education shall be provided by the
12    State Board of Education on a current basis.   In  no  event,
13    however,  shall  the  State's  liability for funding of these
14    tuition costs begin until  after  the  legal  obligations  of
15    third  party payors have been subtracted from such costs.  If
16    the money appropriated  by  the  General  Assembly  for  such
17    purpose for any year is insufficient, it shall be apportioned
18    on  the  basis  of  the claims approved.  Each district shall
19    submit estimated claims to  the  regional  superintendent  of
20    schools  for  transmittal  to  the  State  Superintendent  of
21    Education.    Upon   approval   of  such  claims,  the  State
22    Superintendent  of   Education   shall   direct   the   State
23    Comptroller   to  make  payments  on  a  monthly  basis.  The
24    frequency for submitting estimated claims and the  method  of
25    determining   payment   shall  be  prescribed  in  rules  and
26    regulations adopted by the State Board of  Education.    Such
27    current  state  reimbursement  shall  be reduced by an amount
28    equal to the proceeds which the child or child's parents  are
29    eligible  to receive under any public or private insurance or
30    assistance  program.   Nothing  in  this  Section  shall   be
31    construed as relieving an insurer or similar third party from
32    an  otherwise  valid  obligation  to  provide  or  to pay for
33    services provided to a disabled child.
34        If it otherwise qualifies, a school district is  eligible
 
                            -6-                LRB9101979NTsb
 1    for  the  transportation reimbursement under Section 14-13.01
 2    and for the reimbursement  of  tuition  payments  under  this
 3    Section  whether  the  non-public school or special education
 4    facility,  public  out-of-state  school  or  county   special
 5    education  facility,  attended by a child who resides in that
 6    district and requires special educational services, is within
 7    or outside of the State of Illinois.  However, a district  is
 8    not eligible to claim transportation reimbursement under this
 9    Section   unless   the   district   certifies  to  the  State
10    Superintendent of Education that the district  is  unable  to
11    provide  special  educational  services required by the child
12    for the current school year.
13        Nothing in this Section authorizes the reimbursement of a
14    school district for the amount paid for tuition  of  a  child
15    attending  a non-public school or special education facility,
16    public  out-of-state  school  or  county  special   education
17    facility  unless  the  school district certifies to the State
18    Superintendent  of  Education  that  the  special   education
19    program  of that district is unable to meet the needs of that
20    child because of his disability and the State  Superintendent
21    of Education finds that the school district is in substantial
22    compliance with Section 14-4.01.
23        Any educational or related services provided, pursuant to
24    this  Section  in  a  non-public  school or special education
25    facility or a special education facility owned  and  operated
26    by a county government unit shall be at no cost to the parent
27    or  guardian of the child. However, current law and practices
28    relative to contributions by parents or guardians  for  costs
29    other  than  educational or related services are not affected
30    by this amendatory Act of 1978.
31        Reimbursement  for  children  attending   public   school
32    residential  facilities  shall be made in accordance with the
33    provisions of this Section.

 4        Sec. 14-7.02a.  Children requiring extraordinary  special
 5    education   services   and   facilities.  A  school  district
 6    providing  for  a  child  requiring   extraordinary   special
 7    education services because of the nature of his disability is
 8    eligible  for  reimbursement  from  the  State if the cost of
 9    educating that child is computed, as  set  forth  in  Section
10    14-7.01,  to  be  in  excess  of  one  and one-half times the
11    district per capita tuition charge for the prior year.   Such
12    costs   beyond   one  per  capita  tuition  charge  shall  be
13    reimbursed, up to a maximum of $2,500 $2,000.
14        A  child  is  deemed  to  require  extraordinary  special
15    education  services  and  facilities  under   the   following
16    conditions:

18        child requires extraordinary special education facilities
19        pursuant to the  multidisciplinary  case  study  and  the
20        individualized education program;
21             2)  the  school  district  maintains  adequate  cost
22        accounting  to  document  the  per capita cost of special
23        education; and
24             3)  the school district submits approval  and  claim
25        data annually for each eligible child.
26        Extraordinary  special  education  services provided on a
27    one-half day basis shall only be  reimbursed  at  a  rate  of
28    one-half the amount otherwise provided herein.

16    special  education  facilities designed and utilized to house
17    instructional programs, diagnostic  services,  other  special
18    education   services   for  children  with  disabilities  and

 4    their accuracy and whether they are based upon  services  and
 5    facilities  provided under approved programs.  Upon approval,
 6    vouchers for the amounts due the respective  districts  shall
 7    be prepared and submitted during each fiscal year as follows:
 8    the   first  3  vouchers  shall  be  prepared  by  the  State

10        (g)  For  readers, working with blind or partially seeing

15    Education.
16        (h)  For necessary non-certified employees working in any
17    class or program for children defined in this Article, 1/2 of
18    the salary paid or $2,800 annually per employee, whichever is

 1        Sec.  18-4.3.   Summer  school  grants.   Grants shall be
 2    determined for pupil attendance in summer  schools  conducted
 3    under Sections 10-22.33A and 34-18 and approved under Section
 4    2-3.25 in the following manner.
 5        The  amount  of  grant  for each accredited summer school
 6    attendance pupil shall be  obtained  by  dividing  the  total
 7    amount  of  apportionments  determined  under Section 18-8 or
 8    Section 18-8.05 by the actual number  of  pupils  in  average
 9    daily attendance used for such apportionments.  The number of
10    credited  summer school attendance pupils shall be determined
11    (a) by counting clock hours of class  instruction  by  pupils
12    enrolled in grades 1 through 12 in approved courses conducted
13    at  least  60 clock hours in summer sessions; (b) by dividing
14    such total of clock  hours  of  class  instruction  by  4  to
15    produce  days  of  credited pupil attendance; (c) by dividing
16    such days of credited pupil attendance by the  actual  number
17    of  days  in  the  regular term as used in computation in the
18    general apportionment in Section 18-8; and (d) by multiplying
19    by 1.25.
20        The amount of the  grant  for  a  summer  school  program
21    approved   by  the  State  Superintendent  of  Education  for
22    children with disabilities, as defined  in  Sections  14-1.02
23    through  14-1.07, shall be determined in the manner contained
24    above except that average daily membership shall be  utilized
25    in lieu of average daily attendance.
26        In  the  case  of an apportionment based on summer school
27    attendance or membership pupils, the claim therefor shall  be
28    presented  as a separate claim for the particular school year
29    in  which such summer school  session  ends.   On  or  before
30    October  15  of each year the superintendent of each eligible
31    school district shall certify to the regional  superintendent
32    the  claim of the district for the summer session just ended.
33    Failure on the part of the school board to so  certify  shall
34    constitute  a  forfeiture  of its right to such payment.  The
 
                            -14-               LRB9101979NTsb
 1    regional  superintendent   shall   certify   to   the   State
 2    Superintendent  of  Education  no  later  than November 1 the
 3    regional report of  claims  for  summer  school.   The  State
 4    Superintendent of Education shall transmit to the Comptroller
 5    no later than December 15th of each year vouchers for payment
 6    of amounts due school districts for summer school.  The State
 7    Superintendent  of  Education shall direct the Comptroller to
 8    draw his warrants for payments thereof by  the  30th  day  of
 9    December.   If the money appropriated by the General Assembly
10    for  such  purpose  for any year is insufficient, it shall be
11    apportioned on the basis of claims approved.
12        However, notwithstanding the  foregoing  provisions,  for
13    each  fiscal  year  the  money  appropriated  by  the General
14    Assembly for the purposes of this Section shall only be  used
15    for  grants  for  approved  summer  school programs for those
16    children  with  disabilities  served  pursuant  to   Sections
17    14-7.02 and 14-7.02a of the School Code.
