    (105 ILCS 5/10-21.4)  (from Ch. 122, par. 10-21.4)
    Sec. 10-21.4. Superintendent - Duties. Except in districts
in which there is only one school with less than four teachers,
to employ a superintendent who shall have charge of the
administration of the schools under the direction of the board
of education. In addition to the administrative duties, the
superintendent shall make recommendations to the board
concerning the budget, building plans, the locations of sites,
the selection, retention and dismissal of teachers and all
other employees, the selection of textbooks, instructional
material and courses of study. However, in districts under a
Financial Oversight Panel pursuant to Section 1A-8 for
violating a financial plan, the duties and responsibilities of
the superintendent in relation to the financial and business
operations of the district shall be approved by the Panel. In
the event the Board refuses or fails to follow a directive or
comply with an information request of the Panel, the
performance of those duties shall be subject to the direction
of the Panel. The superintendent shall also notify the State
Board of Education, the board and the chief administrative
official, other than the alleged perpetrator himself, in the
school where the alleged perpetrator serves, that any person
who is employed in a school or otherwise comes into frequent
contact with children in the school has been named as a
perpetrator in an indicated report filed pursuant to the Abused
and Neglected Child Reporting Act, approved June 26, 1975, as
amended. The superintendent shall keep or cause to be kept the
records and accounts as directed and required by the board, aid
in making reports required by the board, and perform such other
duties as the board may delegate to him.
    In addition, each year at a time designated by the State
Superintendent of Education in January of each year, each
superintendent shall report to the State Board of Education the
number of high school students in the district who are enrolled
in accredited courses (for which high school credit will be
awarded upon successful completion of the courses) at any
community college, together with the name and number of the
course or courses which each such student is taking.
    The provisions of this section shall also apply to board of
director districts.
    Notice of intent not to renew a contract must be given in
writing stating the specific reason therefor by April 1 of the
contract year unless the contract specifically provides
otherwise. Failure to do so will automatically extend the
contract for an additional year. Within 10 days after receipt
of notice of intent not to renew a contract, the superintendent
may request a closed session hearing on the dismissal. At the
hearing the superintendent has the privilege of presenting
evidence, witnesses and defenses on the grounds for dismissal.
The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to a district
under a Financial Oversight Panel pursuant to Section 1A-8 for
violating a financial plan.

    (105 ILCS 5/18-3)  (from Ch. 122, par. 18-3)
    Sec. 18-3. Tuition of children from orphanages and
children's homes. When the children from any home for orphans,
dependent, abandoned or maladjusted children maintained by any
organization or association admitting to such home children
from the State in general or when children residing in a school
district wherein the State of Illinois maintains and operates
any welfare or penal institution on property owned by the State
of Illinois, which contains houses, housing units or housing
accommodations within a school district, attend grades
kindergarten through 12 of the public schools maintained by
that school district, the State Superintendent of Education
shall direct the State Comptroller to pay a specified amount
sufficient to pay the annual tuition cost of such children who
attended such public schools during the regular school year
ending on June 30. The Comptroller shall pay the amount after
receipt of a voucher submitted by the State Superintendent of
Education.
    The amount of the tuition for such children attending the
public schools of the district shall be determined by the State
Superintendent of Education by multiplying the number of such
children in average daily attendance in such schools by 1.2
times the total annual per capita cost of administering the
schools of the district. Such total annual per capita cost
shall be determined by totaling all expenses of the school
district in the educational, operations and maintenance, bond
and interest, transportation, Illinois municipal retirement,
and rent funds for the school year preceding the filing of such
tuition claims less expenditures not applicable to the regular
K-12 program, less offsetting revenues from State sources
except those from the common school fund, less offsetting
revenues from federal sources except those from federal
impaction aid, less student and community service revenues,
plus a depreciation allowance; and dividing such total by the
average daily attendance for the year.
    Annually on or before July 15 the superintendent of the
district shall certify to the State Superintendent of Education
the following:
        1. The name of the home and of the organization or
    association maintaining it; or the legal description of the
    real estate upon which the house, housing units, or housing
    accommodations are located and that no taxes or service
    charges or other payments authorized by law to be made in
    lieu of taxes were collected therefrom or on account
    thereof during either of the calendar years included in the
    school year for which claim is being made;
        2. The number of children from the home or living in
    such houses, housing units or housing accommodations and
    attending the schools of the district;
        3. The total number of children attending the schools
    of the district;
        4. The per capita tuition charge of the district; and
        5. The computed amount of the tuition payment claimed
    as due.
    Whenever the persons in charge of such home for orphans,
dependent, abandoned or maladjusted children have received
from the parent or guardian of any such child or by virtue of
an order of court a specific allowance for educating such
child, such persons shall pay to the school board in the
district where the child attends school such amount of the
allowance as is necessary to pay the tuition required by such
district for the education of the child. If the allowance is
insufficient to pay the tuition in full the State
Superintendent of Education shall direct the Comptroller to pay
to the district the difference between the total tuition
charged and the amount of the allowance.
    Whenever the facilities of a school district in which such
house, housing units or housing accommodations are located, are
limited, pupils may be assigned by that district to the schools
of any adjacent district to the limit of the facilities of the
adjacent district to properly educate such pupils as shall be
determined by the school board of the adjacent district, and
the State Superintendent of Education shall direct the
Comptroller to pay a specified amount sufficient to pay the
annual tuition of the children so assigned to and attending
public schools in the adjacent districts and the Comptroller
shall draw his warrant upon the State Treasurer for the payment
of such amount for the benefit of the adjacent school districts
in the same manner as for districts in which the houses,
housing units or housing accommodations are located.
    The school district shall certify to the State
Superintendent of Education the report of claims due for such
tuition payments on or before July 15. The State Superintendent
of Education shall direct the Comptroller to pay to the
district, on or before August 15, the amount due the district
for the school year in accordance with the calculation of the
claim as set forth in this Section.
    Summer session costs shall be reimbursed based on the
actual expenditures for providing these services. On or before
November 1 of each year, the superintendent of each eligible
school district shall certify to the State Superintendent of
Education the claim of the district for the summer session
following the regular school year just ended. The State
Superintendent of Education shall transmit to the Comptroller
no later than December 15th of each year vouchers for payment
of amounts due to school districts for summer session.
    Claims for tuition for children from any home for orphans
or dependent, abandoned, or maladjusted children beginning
with the 1993-1994 school year shall be paid on a current year
basis. On September 30, December 31, and March 31, the State
Board of Education shall voucher payments for districts with
those students based on an estimated cost calculated from the
prior year's claim. Final claims for those students for the
regular school term must be received at the State Board of
Education by July 15 following the end of the regular school
year. Final claims for those students shall be vouchered by
August 30 15. During fiscal year 1994 both the 1992-1993 school
year and the 1993-1994 school year shall be paid in order to
change the cycle of payment from a reimbursement basis to a
current year funding basis of payment. However,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section or the
School Code, beginning with fiscal year 1994 and each fiscal
year thereafter, if the amount appropriated for any fiscal year
is less than the amount required for purposes of this Section,
the amount required to eliminate any insufficient
reimbursement for each district claim under this Section shall
be reimbursed on August 30 of the next fiscal year. Payments
required to eliminate any insufficiency for prior fiscal year
claims shall be made before any claims are paid for the current
fiscal year.
    If a school district makes a claim for reimbursement under
Section 14-7.03 it shall not include in any claim filed under
this Section children residing on the property of State
institutions included in its claim under Section 14-7.03.
    Any child who is not a resident of Illinois who is placed
in a child welfare institution, private facility, State
operated program, orphanage or children's home shall have the
payment for his educational tuition and any related services
assured by the placing agent.
    In order to provide services appropriate to allow a student
under the legal guardianship or custodianship of the State to
participate in local school district educational programs,
costs may be incurred in appropriate cases by the district that
are in excess of 1.2 times the district per capita tuition
charge allowed under the provisions of this Section. In the
event such excess costs are incurred, they must be documented
in accordance with cost rules established under the authority
of this Section and may then be claimed for reimbursement under
this Section.
    Planned services for students eligible for this funding
must be a collaborative effort between the appropriate State
agency or the student's group home or institution and the local
school district.
