Plain-language change summary

The updated version of SB 844 introduces a section that allows school districts to receive state reimbursement for transporting students to vocational programs or other schools they attend, specifically focusing on safety and distance criteria. This is important because it helps ensure that all students have access to necessary educational programs, especially those who live far from schools or in hazardous conditions. In essence, this change is aimed at enhancing educational access and equity for students across Illinois.

Reimbursement by State for transportation.
The The board of education of each school district under 500,000 inhabitants shall, within or before the first quarter of each fiscal year, adopt and file with the State Board of Education an annual balanced budget which it deems necessary to defray all necessary expenses and liabilities of the district, and in such annual budget shall specify the objects and purposes of each item and amount needed for each object or purpose.
Any school district, maintaining a school, transporting resident pupils to another school district’s vocational program, offered through a joint agreement approved by the State Board of Education, as provided in Section 10-22.22 or transporting its resident pupils to a school which meets the standards for recognition as established by the State Board of Education which provides transportation meeting the standards of safety, comfort, convenience, efficiency and operation prescribed by the State Board of Education for resident pupils in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, or any of grades 1 through 12 who:
The budget shall be entered upon a School District Budget form prepared and provided by the State Board of Education and therein shall contain a statement of the cash on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year, an estimate of the cash expected to be received during such fiscal year from all sources, an estimate of the expenditures contemplated for such fiscal year, and a statement of the estimated cash expected to be on hand at the end of such year.
(a) reside at least 1 1/2 miles as measured by the customary route of travel, from the school attended;
The estimate of taxes to be received may be based upon the amount of actual cash receipts that may SB0844 - 2 - LRB095 05584 NHT 25674 b reasonably be expected by the district during such fiscal year, estimated from the experience of the district in prior years and with due regard for other circumstances that may substantially affect such receipts.
or (b) reside in areas where conditions are such that walking constitutes a hazard to the safety of the child when determined under Section 29-3;
Nothing in this Section shall be construed as requiring any district to change or preventing any district from changing from a cash basis of financing to a surplus or deficit basis of financing;
and (c) are transported to the school attended from pick-up points at the beginning of the school day SB0844 Engrossed - 2 - LRB095 05584 NHT 25674 b and back again at the close of the school day or transported to and from their assigned attendance centers during the school day, shall be reimbursed by the State as hereinafter provided in this Section.
or as requiring any district to change or preventing any district from changing its system of accounting.
The State will pay the cost of transporting eligible pupils less the assessed valuation in a dual school district maintaining secondary grades 9 to 12 inclusive times a qualifying rate of .05%;
To the extent that a school district’s budget is not balanced, the district shall also adopt and file with the State Board of Education a deficit reduction plan to balance the district’s budget within 3 years.
in elementary school districts maintaining any of grades pre-K K to 8 times a qualifying rate of .06%;
The deficit reduction plan must be filed at the same time as the budget, but the State Superintendent of Education may extend this deadline if the situation warrants.
in unit districts maintaining any of grades pre-K K to 12 times a qualifying rate of .07%.
The board of education of each district shall fix a fiscal year therefor.
To be eligible to receive reimbursement in excess of 4/5 of the cost to transport eligible pupils, a school district shall have a Transportation Fund tax rate of at least .12%.
If the beginning of the fiscal year of a district is subsequent to the time that the tax levy due to be made in such fiscal year shall be made, then such annual budget shall be adopted prior to the time such tax levy shall be made.
If a school district does not have a .12% Transportation Fund tax rate, the amount of its claim in excess of 4/5 of the cost of transporting pupils shall be reduced by the sum arrived at by subtracting the Transportation Fund tax rate from .12% and multiplying that amount by the districts equalized or assessed valuation, provided, that in no case shall said reduction result in reimbursement of less than 4/5 of the cost to transport eligible pupils.
The failure by a board of education of any district to adopt an annual budget, or to comply in any respect with the provisions of this Section, shall not affect the validity of any tax levy of the district otherwise in conformity with the law.
The minimum amount to be received by a district is $16 times the number of eligible pupils transported.
With respect to taxes levied either before, on, or after the SB0844 - 3 - LRB095 05584 NHT 25674 b effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, (i) a tax levy is made for the fiscal year in which the levy is due to be made regardless of which fiscal year the proceeds of the levy are expended or are intended to be expended, and (ii) except as otherwise provided by law, a board of education’s adoption of an annual budget in conformity with this Section is not a prerequisite to the adoption of a valid tax levy and is not a limit on the amount of the levy.
Any such district transporting resident pupils during the school day to an area vocational school or another school SB0844 Engrossed - 3 - LRB095 05584 NHT 25674 b district’s vocational program more than 1 1/2 miles from the school attended, as provided in Sections 10-22.20a and 10-22.22, shall be reimbursed by the State for 4/5 of the cost of transporting eligible pupils.
Such budget shall be prepared in tentative form by some person or persons designated by the board, and in such tentative form shall be made conveniently available to public inspection for at least 30 days prior to final action thereon.
School day means that period of time which the pupil is required to be in attendance for instructional purposes.
At least 1 public hearing shall be held as to such budget prior to final action thereon.
If a pupil is at a location within the school district other than his residence for child care purposes at the time for transportation to school, that location may be considered for purposes of determining the 1 1/2 miles from the school attended.
Notice of availability for public inspection and of such public hearing shall be given by publication in a newspaper published in such district, at least 30 days prior to the time of such hearing.
Claims for reimbursement that include children who attend any school other than a public school shall show the number of such children transported.
If there is no newspaper published in such district, notice of such public hearing shall be given by posting notices thereof in 5 of the most public places in such district.
Claims for reimbursement under this Section shall not be paid for the transportation of pupils for whom transportation costs are claimed for payment under other Sections of this Act.

expenditures for the rental of transportation equipment;
plus a depreciation allowance of 20% for 5 years for school buses and vehicles approved for transporting pupils to and from school and a depreciation allowance of 10% for 10 years for other transportation equipment so used.
Each school year, if a school district has made expenditures to the Regional Transportation Authority or any of its service boards, a mass transit district, or an urban transportation district under an intergovernmental agreement with the district to provide for the transportation of pupils and if the public transit carrier SB0844 Engrossed - 5 - LRB095 05584 NHT 25674 b received direct payment for services or passes from a school district within its service area during the 2000-2001 school year, then the allowable direct cost of transporting pupils for regular, vocational, and special education pupil transportation shall also include the expenditures that the district has made to the public transit carrier.
In addition to the above allowable costs school districts shall also claim all transportation supervisory salary costs, including Illinois municipal retirement payments, and all transportation related building and building maintenance costs without limitation.
Special education allowable costs shall also include expenditures for the salaries of attendants or aides for that portion of the time they assist special education pupils while in transit and expenditures for parents and public carriers for transporting special education pupils when pre-approved by the State Superintendent of Education.
Indirect costs shall be included in the reimbursement claim for districts which own and operate their own school buses.
Such indirect costs shall include administrative costs, or any costs attributable to transporting pupils from their attendance centers to another school building for instructional purposes.
No school district which owns and operates its own school buses may claim reimbursement for indirect costs which exceed 5% of the total allowable direct costs for pupil transportation.
The State Board of Education shall prescribe uniform SB0844 Engrossed - 6 - LRB095 05584 NHT 25674 b regulations for determining the above standards and shall prescribe forms of cost accounting and standards of determining reasonable depreciation.
Such depreciation shall include the cost of equipping school buses with the safety features required by law or by the rules, regulations and standards promulgated by the State Board of Education, and the Department of Transportation for the safety and construction of school buses provided, however, any equipment cost reimbursed by the Department of Transportation for equipping school buses with such safety equipment shall be deducted from the allowable cost in the computation of reimbursement under this Section in the same percentage as the cost of the equipment is depreciated.
On or before August 15, annually, the chief school administrator for the district shall certify to the State Superintendent of Education the district’s claim for reimbursement for the school year ending on June 30 next preceding.
The State Superintendent of Education shall check and approve the claims and prepare the vouchers showing the amounts due for district reimbursement claims.
Each fiscal year, the State Superintendent of Education shall prepare and transmit the first 3 vouchers to the Comptroller on the 30th day of September, December and March, respectively, and the final voucher, no later than June 20.
If the amount appropriated for transportation reimbursement is insufficient to fund total claims for any fiscal year, the State Board of Education shall reduce each SB0844 Engrossed - 7 - LRB095 05584 NHT 25674 b school district’s allowable costs and flat grant amount proportionately to make total adjusted claims equal the total amount appropriated.
For purposes of calculating claims for reimbursement under this Section for any school year beginning July 1, 1998, or thereafter, the equalized assessed valuation for a school district used to compute reimbursement shall be computed in the same manner as it is computed under paragraph (2) of subsection (G) of Section 18-8.05.
All reimbursements received from the State shall be deposited into the district’s transportation fund or into the fund from which the allowable expenditures were made.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any school district receiving a payment under this Section or under Section 14-7.02, 14-7.02b, or 14-13.01 of this Code may classify all or a portion of the funds that it receives in a particular fiscal year or from general State aid pursuant to Section 18-8.05 of this Code as funds received in connection with any funding program for which it is entitled to receive funds from the State in that fiscal year (including, without limitation, any funding program referenced in this Section), regardless of the source or timing of the receipt.
The district may not classify more funds as funds received in connection with the funding program than the district is entitled to receive in that fiscal year for that program.
Any classification by a district must be made by a resolution of SB0844 Engrossed - 8 - LRB095 05584 NHT 25674 b its board of education.
The resolution must identify the amount of any payments or general State aid to be classified under this paragraph and must specify the funding program to which the funds are to be treated as received in connection therewith.
This resolution is controlling as to the classification of funds referenced therein.
A certified copy of the resolution must be sent to the State Superintendent of Education.
The resolution shall still take effect even though a copy of the resolution has not been sent to the State Superintendent of Education in a timely manner.
No classification under this paragraph by a district shall affect the total amount or timing of money the district is entitled to receive under this Code.
No classification under this paragraph by a district shall in any way relieve the district from or affect any requirements that otherwise would apply with respect to that funding program, including any accounting of funds by source, reporting expenditures by original source and purpose, reporting requirements, or requirements of providing services.
Any school district with a population of not more than 500,000 must deposit all funds received under this Article into the transportation fund and use those funds for the provision of transportation services.
