(105 ILCS 5/18-4.3) (from Ch. 122, par. 18-4.3)
Sec. 18-4.3. Summer school grants. Through fiscal year 2017, grants shall be determined for
pupil attendance in summer schools conducted under Sections 10-22.33A
and 34-18 and approved under Section 2-3.25 in the following manner.
The amount of grant for each accredited summer school attendance pupil shall
be obtained by dividing the total amount of apportionments determined under Section 18-8.05 by the
actual
number of pupils in average daily attendance used for such
apportionments. The number of credited summer school attendance pupils
shall be determined (a) by counting clock hours of class instruction by
pupils enrolled in grades 1 through 12 in approved courses conducted at
least 60 clock hours in summer sessions; (b) by dividing such total of
clock hours of class instruction by 4 to produce days of credited pupil
attendance; (c) by dividing such days of credited pupil attendance by
the actual number of days in the regular term as used in computation in
the general apportionment in Section 18-8.05; and (d) by
multiplying by
1.25.
The amount of the grant for a summer school program approved by the
State Superintendent of Education for children with
disabilities, as defined
in Sections 14-1.02 through 14-1.07, shall be determined in the manner
contained above except that average daily membership shall be utilized
in lieu of average daily attendance.
In the case of an apportionment based on summer school attendance or
membership pupils, the claim therefor shall be presented as a separate
claim for the particular school year in which such summer school
session ends. 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 just ended. Failure on the part of the school board to so
certify shall constitute a forfeiture of its right to such payment. The State Superintendent of Education shall transmit to the
Comptroller no later than December 15th of each year
vouchers for payment of amounts due school districts for
summer school. The State Superintendent of Education shall direct the
Comptroller to draw his warrants for payments thereof by the 30th
day of December. If the money appropriated by the
General Assembly for such purpose for any year is insufficient, it shall
be apportioned on the basis of claims approved.
However, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, for each fiscal year the
money appropriated by the General
Assembly for the purposes of this Section shall only be used for grants
for approved summer school programs for those children with
disabilities served pursuant to Section 14-7.02 or 14-7.02b of this
Code. No funding shall be provided to school districts under this Section after fiscal year 2017. In fiscal year 2018 and each fiscal year thereafter, all funding received by a school district from the State pursuant to Section 18-8.15 of this Code that is attributable to summer school for special education pupils must be used for special education services authorized under this Code.
