Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill creates a categorical aid for a school district that enters into an agreement to share administrative personnel services with other school districts or a local unit of government.
To be eligible for the aid, the school district must pass a resolution approving participation in the shared services aid program.
The amount of aid a school district receives under the shared services aid program is based on the administrative positions that are shared under the agreement.
Under the bill, during the first three school years of an agreement, each school district receives the following amount for each of the following administrative positions that is shared under the agreement:
Page 2, line 11:
For a school district administrator, $40,000.
after “village," insert “county,".
2.
For a human resources director, information technology director, or business manager, $22,500.
3.
For any other adminsitrative position other than principals and assistant principals, $17,500.
In the fourth and fifth school years of an agreement, school districts receive half of the amounts described above.
If, in any school year, the amount appropriated for this aid is insufficient to pay these amounts to all entitled school districts, the Department of Public Instruction must prorate the aid amounts.
