YOUNGE-JONES,LOU-JONES,SHIRLEY. (CLAYBORNE-LIGHTFORD) New Act Creates the Katherine Dunham Performing Arts School Act. Establishes the Katherine Dunham Performing Arts School, to be located at the Rock (Hughes Quinn) School in East St. Louis, Illinois. Provides that the school shall admit students in grades prekindergarten through 12 and students seeking baccalaureate degrees who have been determined eligible to attend. Provides that the school shall be funded by federal grants and State appropriations. Provides that private contribution and endowment programs may be established. Provides that the school shall be governed by a board of trustees, who shall appoint a director to be the chief administrative officer. Lists the powers and duties of the board. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education) The school would be funded with State and federal funds and private contributions. It is difficult to determine a specific cost for such a program. It is unclear how large an institution this would be and what capital and equipment cost would be. It is unclear if students are to be housed at the school, similar to those at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) and other State schools. It is unclear what the State funding mechanism will be, if the school is eligible for general State aid and other State programs, or if it would be a stand alone appropriation. Using IMSA as a proxy, the annual general funds appropriation for 612 teachers and 1377 students is approxi- mately $15 million. STATE MANDATES NOTE (State Board of Education) HB 2519 does not establish a new mandate for school districts. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Removes the provision that requires the Katherine Dunham Performing Arts School to be located at the Rock (Hughes Quinn) School. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2. Provides that the performing arts school shall instead be an academy for performing, visual, and cultural arts, and makes changes to reflect this. Provides that teachers for the academy shall be selected from throughout the world (not just from throughout the State).
