68	68	1 evidence indicates is needed, to:
69	69	2 (A) provide all students with a high quality
70	70	3 education that offers the academic, enrichment, social
71	71	4 and emotional support, technical, and career-focused
72	72	5 programs that will allow them to become competitive
73	73	6 workers, responsible parents, productive citizens of
74	74	7 this State, and active members of our national
75	75	8 democracy;
76	76	9 (B) ensure all students receive the education they
77	77	10 need to graduate from high school with the skills
78	78	11 required to pursue post-secondary education and
79	79	12 training for a rewarding career;
80	80	13 (C) reduce, with a goal of eliminating, the
81	81	14 achievement gap between at-risk and non-at-risk
82	82	15 students by raising the performance of at-risk
83	83	16 students and not by reducing standards; and
84	84	17 (D) ensure this State satisfies its obligation to
85	85	18 assume the primary responsibility to fund public
86	86	19 education and simultaneously relieve the
87	87	20 disproportionate burden placed on local property taxes
88	88	21 to fund schools.
89	89	22 (2) The Evidence-Based Funding formula under this
90	90	23 Section shall be applied to all Organizational Units in
91	91	24 this State. The Evidence-Based Funding formula outlined in
92	92	25 this Act is based on the formula outlined in Senate Bill 1
93	93	26 of the 100th General Assembly, as passed by both

104	104	1 legislative chambers. As further defined and described in
105	105	2 this Section, there are 4 major components of the
106	106	3 Evidence-Based Funding model:
107	107	4 (A) First, the model calculates a unique Adequacy
108	108	5 Target for each Organizational Unit in this State that
109	109	6 considers the costs to implement research-based
110	110	7 activities, the unit's student demographics, and
111	111	8 regional wage differences.
112	112	9 (B) Second, the model calculates each
113	113	10 Organizational Unit's Local Capacity, or the amount
114	114	11 each Organizational Unit is assumed to contribute
115	115	12 toward its Adequacy Target from local resources.
116	116	13 (C) Third, the model calculates how much funding
117	117	14 the State currently contributes to the Organizational
118	118	15 Unit and adds that to the unit's Local Capacity to
119	119	16 determine the unit's overall current adequacy of
120	120	17 funding.
121	121	18 (D) Finally, the model's distribution method
122	122	19 allocates new State funding to those Organizational
123	123	20 Units that are least well-funded, considering both
124	124	21 Local Capacity and State funding, in relation to their
125	125	22 Adequacy Target.
126	126	23 (3) An Organizational Unit receiving any funding under
127	127	24 this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
128	128	25 for which that Organizational Unit is authorized to make
129	129	26 expenditures by law.

287	287	4 year in which a count by grade level was collected only
288	288	5 once, that count shall be used as the single count
289	289	6 available for computing a 3-year average ASE. Funding for
290	290	7 programs operated by a regional office of education or an
291	291	8 intermediate service center must be calculated using the
292	292	9 Evidence-Based Funding formula under this Section for the

295	295	12 for each type of program. ASE for a program operated by a
296	296	13 regional office of education or an intermediate service
297	297	14 center must be determined by the March 1 enrollment for
298	298	15 the program. For the 2019-2020 school year, the ASE used
299	299	16 in the calculation must be the first-year ASE and, in that
300	300	17 year only, the assignment of students served by a regional
301	301	18 office of education or intermediate service center shall
302	302	19 not result in a reduction of the March enrollment for any
303	303	20 school district. For the 2020-2021 school year, the ASE
304	304	21 must be the greater of the current-year ASE or the 2-year
305	305	22 average ASE. Beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, the
306	306	23 ASE must be the greater of the current-year ASE or the
307	307	24 3-year average ASE. School districts shall submit the data
308	308	25 for the ASE calculation to the State Board within 45 days

322	322	3 calculation shall include only enrollment taken on October
323	323	4 1. In recognition of the impact of COVID-19, the
324	324	5 definition of "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" shall
325	325	6 be adjusted for calculations under this Section for fiscal
326	326	7 years 2022 through 2024. For fiscal years 2022 through
327	327	8 2024, the enrollment used in the calculation of ASE
328	328	9 representing the 2020-2021 school year shall be the
329	329	10 greater of the enrollment for the 2020-2021 school year or

1334	1334	7 (B) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio
1335	1335	8 in a given year is the percentage obtained by dividing
1336	1336	9 its Adjusted EAV or PTELL EAV, whichever is less, by
1337	1337	10 its Adequacy Target, with the resulting ratio further
1338	1338	11 adjusted as follows:
1339	1339	12 (i) for Organizational Units serving grades
1340	1340	13 kindergarten through 12 and Hybrid Districts, no
1341	1341	14 further adjustments shall be made;
1342	1342	15 (ii) for Organizational Units serving grades
1343	1343	16 kindergarten through 8, the ratio shall be
1344	1344	17 multiplied by 9/13;
1345	1345	18 (iii) for Organizational Units serving grades
1346	1346	19 9 through 12, the Local Capacity Ratio shall be
1347	1347	20 multiplied by 4/13; and

1366	1366	3 Capacity Ratio to a cumulative distribution resulting
1367	1367	4 in a percentile ranking to determine each
1368	1368	5 Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
1369	1369	6 Organizational Units in this State. The Local Capacity
1370	1370	7 Percentage cumulative distribution resulting in a

1374	1374	11 weighted standard deviation and Local Capacity Ratios
1375	1375	12 of all Organizational Units. If the value assigned to
1376	1376	13 any Organizational Unit is in excess of 90%, the value
1377	1377	14 shall be adjusted to 90%. For Laboratory Schools, the
1378	1378	15 Local Capacity Percentage shall be set at 10% in
1379	1379	16 recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
1380	1380	17 the public university that are allocated to the
1381	1381	18 Laboratory School. For programs operated by a regional
1382	1382	19 office of education or an intermediate service center,
1383	1383	20 the Local Capacity Percentage must be set at 10% in
1384	1384	21 recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
1385	1385	22 school districts that are allocated to the regional
1386	1386	23 office of education or intermediate service center.
1387	1387	24 The weighted mean for the Local Capacity Percentage

1410	1410	11 unit, then summing all units' weighted variance and
1411	1411	12 dividing by the total ASE of all units.
1412	1412	13 (D) For any Organizational Unit, the
1413	1413	14 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity Target
1414	1414	15 shall be reduced by either (i) the school board's
1415	1415	16 remaining contribution pursuant to paragraph (ii) of
1416	1416	17 subsection (b-4) of Section 16-158 of the Illinois
1417	1417	18 Pension Code in a given year or (ii) the board of
1418	1418	19 education's remaining contribution pursuant to
1419	1419	20 paragraph (iv) of subsection (b) of Section 17-129 of
1420	1420	21 the Illinois Pension Code absent the employer normal
1421	1421	22 cost portion of the required contribution and amount
1422	1422	23 allowed pursuant to subdivision (3) of Section
1423	1423	24 17-142.1 of the Illinois Pension Code in a given year.

1440	1440	5 (3) If an Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are more
1441	1441	6 than its Local Capacity Target, then its Local Capacity
1442	1442	7 shall equal an Adjusted Local Capacity Target as
1443	1443	8 calculated in accordance with this paragraph (3). The
1444	1444	9 Adjusted Local Capacity Target is calculated as the sum of
1445	1445	10 the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target and its
1446	1446	11 Real Receipts Adjustment. The Real Receipts Adjustment
1447	1447	12 equals the Organizational Unit's Real Receipts less its
1448	1448	13 Local Capacity Target, with the resulting figure
1449	1449	14 multiplied by the Local Capacity Percentage.
1450	1450	15 As used in this paragraph (3), "Real Percent of
1451	1451	16 Adequacy" means the sum of an Organizational Unit's Real
1452	1452	17 Receipts, CPPRT, and Base Funding Minimum, with the
1453	1453	18 resulting figure divided by the Organizational Unit's
1454	1454	19 Adequacy Target.

1456	1456	21 for purposes of the Local Capacity calculation.
1457	1457	22 (1) An Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are the
1458	1458	23 product of its Applicable Tax Rate and its Adjusted EAV.
1459	1459	24 An Organizational Unit's Applicable Tax Rate is its
1460	1460	25 Adjusted Operating Tax Rate for property within the
1461	1461	26 Organizational Unit.

1472	1472	1 (2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
1473	1473	2 equalized assessed valuation, or EAV, of all taxable
1474	1474	3 property of each Organizational Unit as of September 30 of
1475	1475	4 the previous year in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
1476	1476	5 subsection (d). The State Superintendent shall then
1477	1477	6 determine the Adjusted EAV of each Organizational Unit in
1478	1478	7 accordance with paragraph (4) of this subsection (d),
1479	1479	8 which Adjusted EAV figure shall be used for the purposes
1480	1480	9 of calculating Local Capacity.
1481	1481	10 (3) To calculate Real Receipts and EAV, the Department
1482	1482	11 of Revenue shall supply to the State Superintendent the
1483	1483	12 value as equalized or assessed by the Department of
1484	1484	13 Revenue of all taxable property of every Organizational
1485	1485	14 Unit, together with (i) the applicable tax rate used in
1486	1486	15 extending taxes for the funds of the Organizational Unit
1487	1487	16 as of September 30 of the previous year and (ii) the
1488	1488	17 limiting rate for all Organizational Units subject to
1489	1489	18 property tax extension limitations as imposed under PTELL.
1490	1490	19 (A) The Department of Revenue shall add to the
1491	1491	20 equalized assessed value of all taxable property of
1492	1492	21 each Organizational Unit situated entirely or
1493	1493	22 partially within a county that is or was subject to the
1494	1494	23 provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
1495	1495	24 Tax Code (i) an amount equal to the total amount by
1496	1496	25 which the homestead exemption allowed under Section

1509	1509	2 the total amount that would have been allowed in that
1510	1510	3 Organizational Unit if the maximum reduction under
1511	1511	4 Section 15-176 was (I) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500
1512	1512	5 in all other counties in tax year 2003 or (II) $5,000
1513	1513	6 in all counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and
1514	1514	7 (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount for the
1515	1515	8 taxable year of all additional exemptions under
1516	1516	9 Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners
1517	1517	10 with a household income of $30,000 or less. The county
1518	1518	11 clerk of any county that is or was subject to the
1519	1519	12 provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
1520	1520	13 Tax Code shall annually calculate and certify to the
1521	1521	14 Department of Revenue for each Organizational Unit all
1522	1522	15 homestead exemption amounts under Section 15-176 or
1523	1523	16 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and all amounts of
1524	1524	17 additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the
1525	1525	18 Property Tax Code for owners with a household income
1526	1526	19 of $30,000 or less. It is the intent of this
1527	1527	20 subparagraph (A) that if the general homestead
1528	1528	21 exemption for a parcel of property is determined under
1529	1529	22 Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
1530	1530	23 rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of
1531	1531	24 EAV shall not be affected by the difference, if any,
1532	1532	25 between the amount of the general homestead exemption
1533	1533	26 allowed for that parcel of property under Section

1545	1545	2 amount that would have been allowed had the general
1546	1546	3 homestead exemption for that parcel of property been
1547	1547	4 determined under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
1548	1548	5 Code. It is further the intent of this subparagraph
1549	1549	6 (A) that if additional exemptions are allowed under
1550	1550	7 Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners
1551	1551	8 with a household income of less than $30,000, then the
1552	1552	9 calculation of EAV shall not be affected by the
1553	1553	10 difference, if any, because of those additional
1554	1554	11 exemptions.
1555	1555	12 (B) With respect to any part of an Organizational
1556	1556	13 Unit within a redevelopment project area in respect to
1557	1557	14 which a municipality has adopted tax increment
1558	1558	15 allocation financing pursuant to the Tax Increment
1559	1559	16 Allocation Redevelopment Act, Division 74.4 of Article
1560	1560	17 11 of the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Industrial
1561	1561	18 Jobs Recovery Law, Division 74.6 of Article 11 of the
1562	1562	19 Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current EAV of
1563	1563	20 real property located in any such project area that is
1564	1564	21 attributable to an increase above the total initial
1565	1565	22 EAV of such property shall be used as part of the EAV
1566	1566	23 of the Organizational Unit, until such time as all
1567	1567	24 redevelopment project costs have been paid, as
1568	1568	25 provided in Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment

1583	1583	4 shall be used until such time as all redevelopment
1584	1584	5 project costs have been paid.
1585	1585	6 (B-5) The real property equalized assessed
1586	1586	7 valuation for a school district shall be adjusted by
1587	1587	8 subtracting from the real property value, as equalized
1588	1588	9 or assessed by the Department of Revenue, for the
1589	1589	10 district an amount computed by dividing the amount of
1590	1590	11 any abatement of taxes under Section 18-170 of the
1591	1591	12 Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a district maintaining
1592	1592	13 grades kindergarten through 12, by 2.30% for a
1593	1593	14 district maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, or
1594	1594	15 by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9 through
1595	1595	16 12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing the
1596	1596	17 amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
1597	1597	18 of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
1598	1598	19 percentage rates for district type as specified in

1600	1600	21 (C) For Organizational Units that are Hybrid
1601	1601	22 Districts, the State Superintendent shall use the
1602	1602	23 lesser of the adjusted equalized assessed valuation
1603	1603	24 for property within the partial elementary unit

1621	1621	6 shall send to the State Board, for the purposes of
1622	1622	7 calculating Evidence-Based Funding, the limiting rate
1623	1623	8 and individual rates by purpose for the county that
1624	1624	9 contains the majority of the school district's

1626	1626	11 (4) An Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV shall be the
1627	1627	12 average of its EAV over the immediately preceding 3 years
1628	1628	13 or the lesser of its EAV in the immediately preceding year
1629	1629	14 or the average of its EAV over the immediately preceding 3
1630	1630	15 years if the EAV in the immediately preceding year has
1631	1631	16 declined by 10% or more when comparing the 2 most recent
1632	1632	17 years. In the event of Organizational Unit reorganization,
1633	1633	18 consolidation, or annexation, the Organizational Unit's
1634	1634	19 Adjusted EAV for the first 3 years after such change shall
1635	1635	20 be as follows: the most current EAV shall be used in the
1636	1636	21 first year, the average of a 2-year EAV or its EAV in the

1653	1653	2 EAV in the immediately preceding year is used in
1654	1654	3 calculations, in the following year, the Adjusted EAV
1655	1655	4 shall be the average of its EAV over the immediately
1656	1656	5 preceding 2 years or the immediately preceding year if
1657	1657	6 that year represents a decline of 10% or more when
1658	1658	7 comparing the 2 most recent years.

1663	1663	12 Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (4), the
1664	1664	13 PTELL EAV of an Organizational Unit shall be equal to the
1665	1665	14 product of the equalized assessed valuation last used in
1666	1666	15 the calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05
1667	1667	16 of this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding

1727	1727	4 allocated to the school district pursuant to Section 1D-1
1728	1728	5 of this Code attributable to funding programs authorized
1729	1729	6 by the Sections of this Code listed in the preceding
1730	1730	7 sentence and (ii) the difference between (I) the funds
1731	1731	8 allocated to the school district pursuant to Section 1D-1
1732	1732	9 of this Code attributable to the funding programs
1733	1733	10 authorized by Section 14-7.02 (non-public special
1734	1734	11 education reimbursement), subsection (b) of Section

1761	1761	2 For programs operated by a regional office of education or
1762	1762	3 an intermediate service center, the Base Funding Minimum
1763	1763	4 must be the total amount of State funds allocated to those
1764	1764	5 programs in the 2018-2019 school year and amounts provided
1765	1765	6 pursuant to Article 34 of Public Act 100-586 and Section
1766	1766	7 3-16 of this Code. All programs established after June 5,
1767	1767	8 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-10) and
1768	1768	9 administered by a regional office of education or an
1769	1769	10 intermediate service center must have an initial Base
1770	1770	11 Funding Minimum set to an amount equal to the first-year
1771	1771	12 ASE multiplied by the amount of per pupil funding received
1772	1772	13 in the previous school year by the lowest funded similar
1773	1773	14 existing program type. If the enrollment for a program
1774	1774	15 operated by a regional office of education or an
1775	1775	16 intermediate service center is zero, then it may not
1776	1776	17 receive Base Funding Minimum funds for that program in the
1777	1777	18 next fiscal year, and those funds must be distributed to

1796	1796	1 For the 2022-2023 school year, the Base Funding
1797	1797	2 Minimum of Organizational Units shall be the amounts
1798	1798	3 recalculated by the State Board of Education for Fiscal
1799	1799	4 Year 2019 through Fiscal Year 2022 that were necessary due
1800	1800	5 to average student enrollment errors for districts
1801	1801	6 organized under Article 34 of this Code, plus the Fiscal
1802	1802	7 Year 2022 property tax relief grants provided under
1803	1803	8 Section 2-3.170 of this Code, ensuring each Organizational
1804	1804	9 Unit has the correct amount of resources for Fiscal Year
1805	1805	10 2023 Evidence-Based Funding calculations and that Fiscal

1807	1807	12 accordance with this Section.
1808	1808	13 (3) Subject to approval by the General Assembly as
1809	1809	14 provided in this paragraph (3), an Organizational Unit
1810	1810	15 that meets all of the following criteria, as determined by
1811	1811	16 the State Board, shall have District Intervention Money
1812	1812	17 added to its Base Funding Minimum at the time the Base
1813	1813	18 Funding Minimum is calculated by the State Board:
1814	1814	19 (A) The Organizational Unit is operating under an
1815	1815	20 Independent Authority under Section 2-3.25f-5 of this
1816	1816	21 Code for a minimum of 4 school years or is subject to
1817	1817	22 the control of the State Board pursuant to a court
1818	1818	23 order for a minimum of 4 school years.
1819	1819	24 (B) The Organizational Unit was designated as a
1820	1820	25 Tier 1 or Tier 2 Organizational Unit in the previous

1832	1832	1 this Section.
1833	1833	2 (C) The Organizational Unit demonstrates
1834	1834	3 sustainability through a 5-year financial and
1835	1835	4 strategic plan.
1836	1836	5 (D) The Organizational Unit has made sufficient
1837	1837	6 progress and achieved sufficient stability in the
1838	1838	7 areas of governance, academic growth, and finances.
1839	1839	8 As part of its determination under this paragraph (3),
1840	1840	9 the State Board may consider the Organizational Unit's
1841	1841	10 summative designation, any accreditations of the
1842	1842	11 Organizational Unit, or the Organizational Unit's
1843	1843	12 financial profile, as calculated by the State Board.
1844	1844	13 If the State Board determines that an Organizational
1845	1845	14 Unit has met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3),
1846	1846	15 it must submit a report to the General Assembly, no later
1847	1847	16 than January 2 of the fiscal year in which the State Board
1848	1848	17 makes it determination, on the amount of District
1849	1849	18 Intervention Money to add to the Organizational Unit's
1850	1850	19 Base Funding Minimum. The General Assembly must review the
1851	1851	20 State Board's report and may approve or disapprove, by
1852	1852	21 joint resolution, the addition of District Intervention
1853	1853	22 Money. If the General Assembly fails to act on the report
1854	1854	23 within 40 calendar days from the receipt of the report,
1855	1855	24 the addition of District Intervention Money is deemed
1856	1856	25 approved. If the General Assembly approves the amount of

1869	1869	2 Intervention Money must be added to the Base Funding
1870	1870	3 Minimum annually thereafter.
1871	1871	4 For the first 4 years following the initial year that
1872	1872	5 the State Board determines that an Organizational Unit has
1873	1873	6 met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3) and has
1874	1874	7 received funding under this Section, the Organizational
1875	1875	8 Unit must annually submit to the State Board, on or before
1876	1876	9 November 30, a progress report regarding its financial and
1877	1877	10 strategic plan under subparagraph (C) of this paragraph
1878	1878	11 (3). The plan shall include the financial data from the
1879	1879	12 past 4 annual financial reports or financial audits that
1880	1880	13 must be presented to the State Board by November 15 of each
1881	1881	14 year and the approved budget financial data for the
1882	1882	15 current year. The plan shall be developed according to the
1883	1883	16 guidelines presented to the Organizational Unit by the
1884	1884	17 State Board. The plan shall further include financial
1885	1885	18 projections for the next 3 fiscal years and include a
1886	1886	19 discussion and financial summary of the Organizational
1887	1887	20 Unit's facility needs. If the Organizational Unit does not
1888	1888	21 demonstrate sufficient progress toward its 5-year plan or
1889	1889	22 if it has failed to file an annual financial report, an
1890	1890	23 annual budget, a financial plan, a deficit reduction plan,
1891	1891	24 or other financial information as required by law, the
1892	1892	25 State Board may establish a Financial Oversight Panel
1893	1893	26 under Article 1H of this Code. However, if the

1907	1907	4 (f) Percent of Adequacy and Final Resources calculation.
1908	1908	5 (1) The Evidence-Based Funding formula establishes a
1909	1909	6 Percent of Adequacy for each Organizational Unit in order
1910	1910	7 to place such units into tiers for the purposes of the
1911	1911	8 funding distribution system described in subsection (g) of
1912	1912	9 this Section. Initially, an Organizational Unit's
1913	1913	10 Preliminary Resources and Preliminary Percent of Adequacy
1914	1914	11 are calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of this
1915	1915	12 subsection (f). Then, an Organizational Unit's Final
1916	1916	13 Resources and Final Percent of Adequacy are calculated to
1917	1917	14 account for the Organizational Unit's poverty
1918	1918	15 concentration levels pursuant to paragraphs (3) and (4) of
1919	1919	16 this subsection (f).
1920	1920	17 (2) An Organizational Unit's Preliminary Resources are
1921	1921	18 equal to the sum of its Local Capacity Target, CPPRT, and
1922	1922	19 Base Funding Minimum. An Organizational Unit's Preliminary
1923	1923	20 Percent of Adequacy is the lesser of (i) its Preliminary
1924	1924	21 Resources divided by its Adequacy Target or (ii) 100%.
1925	1925	22 (3) Except for Specially Funded Units, an
1926	1926	23 Organizational Unit's Final Resources are equal to the sum
1927	1927	24 of its Local Capacity, CPPRT, and Adjusted Base Funding
1928	1928	25 Minimum. The Base Funding Minimum of each Specially Funded
1929	1929	26 Unit shall serve as its Final Resources, except that the

1942	1942	3 allocated in the prior year based on the per capita
1943	1943	4 tuition charge times the charter school enrollment.
1944	1944	5 (4) An Organizational Unit's Final Percent of Adequacy
1945	1945	6 is its Final Resources divided by its Adequacy Target. An
1946	1946	7 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Base Funding Minimum is
1947	1947	8 equal to its Base Funding Minimum less its Supplemental
1948	1948	9 Grant Funding, with the resulting figure added to the
1949	1949	10 product of its Supplemental Grant Funding and Preliminary
1950	1950	11 Percent of Adequacy.
1951	1951	12 (g) Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system.
1952	1952	13 (1) In each school year under the Evidence-Based
1953	1953	14 Funding formula, each Organizational Unit receives funding
1954	1954	15 equal to the sum of its Base Funding Minimum and the unit's
1955	1955	16 allocation of New State Funds determined pursuant to this
1956	1956	17 subsection (g). To allocate New State Funds, the
1957	1957	18 Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system first
1958	1958	19 places all Organizational Units into one of 4 tiers in
1959	1959	20 accordance with paragraph (3) of this subsection (g),
1960	1960	21 based on the Organizational Unit's Final Percent of
1961	1961	22 Adequacy. New State Funds are allocated to each of the 4
1962	1962	23 tiers as follows: Tier 1 Aggregate Funding equals 50% of
1963	1963	24 all New State Funds, Tier 2 Aggregate Funding equals 49%
1964	1964	25 of all New State Funds, Tier 3 Aggregate Funding equals
1965	1965	26 0.9% of all New State Funds, and Tier 4 Aggregate Funding

1975	1975	SB2006 - 55 - LRB103 30688 RJT 57159 b
1976	1976	1 equals 0.1% of all New State Funds. Each Organizational
1977	1977	2 Unit within Tier 1 or Tier 2 receives an allocation of New
1978	1978	3 State Funds equal to its tier Funding Gap, as defined in
1979	1979	4 the following sentence, multiplied by the tier's
1980	1980	5 Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4) of
1981	1981	6 this subsection (g). For Tier 1, an Organizational Unit's
1982	1982	7 Funding Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as specified
1983	1983	8 in paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
1984	1984	9 Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
1985	1985	10 amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
1986	1986	11 Resources. For Tier 2, an Organizational Unit's Funding
1987	1987	12 Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as described in
1988	1988	13 paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
1989	1989	14 Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
1990	1990	15 amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
1991	1991	16 Resources and its Tier 1 funding allocation. To determine
1992	1992	17 the Organizational Unit's Funding Gap, the resulting
1993	1993	18 amount is then multiplied by a factor equal to one minus
1994	1994	19 the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target
1995	1995	20 percentage. Each Organizational Unit within Tier 3 or Tier
1996	1996	21 4 receives an allocation of New State Funds equal to the
1997	1997	22 product of its Adequacy Target and the tier's Allocation
1998	1998	23 Rate, as specified in paragraph (4) of this subsection
1999	1999	24 (g).

2012	2012	1 Unit shall receive fewer dollars per ASE than any Tier 3
2013	2013	2 Organizational Unit. Each Tier 2 and Tier 3 Organizational
2014	2014	3 Unit shall have its funding allocation divided by its ASE.
2015	2015	4 Any Tier 2 Organizational Unit with a funding allocation
2016	2016	5 per ASE below the greatest Tier 3 allocation per ASE shall
2017	2017	6 get a funding allocation equal to the greatest Tier 3
2018	2018	7 funding allocation per ASE multiplied by the
2019	2019	8 Organizational Unit's ASE. Each Tier 2 Organizational
2020	2020	9 Unit's Tier 2 funding allocation shall be multiplied by
2021	2021	10 the percentage calculated by dividing the original Tier 2
2022	2022	11 Aggregate Funding by the sum of all Tier 2 Organizational
2023	2023	12 Units' Tier 2 funding allocation after adjusting
2024	2024	13 districts' funding below Tier 3 levels.
2025	2025	14 (3) Organizational Units are placed into one of 4
2026	2026	15 tiers as follows:
2027	2027	16 (A) Tier 1 consists of all Organizational Units,
2028	2028	17 except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
2029	2029	18 Adequacy less than the Tier 1 Target Ratio. The Tier 1
2030	2030	19 Target Ratio is the ratio level that allows for Tier 1
2031	2031	20 Aggregate Funding to be distributed, with the Tier 1
2032	2032	21 Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4)
2033	2033	22 of this subsection (g).
2034	2034	23 (B) Tier 2 consists of all Tier 1 Units and all
2035	2035	24 other Organizational Units, except for Specially
2036	2036	25 Funded Units, with a Percent of Adequacy of less than
2037	2037	26 0.90.

2049	2049	2 except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
2050	2050	3 Adequacy of at least 0.90 and less than 1.0.
2051	2051	4 (D) Tier 4 consists of all Organizational Units
2052	2052	5 with a Percent of Adequacy of at least 1.0.
2053	2053	6 (4) The Allocation Rates for Tiers 1 through 4 are
2054	2054	7 determined as follows:
2055	2055	8 (A) The Tier 1 Allocation Rate is 30%.
2056	2056	9 (B) The Tier 2 Allocation Rate is the result of the
2057	2057	10 following equation: Tier 2 Aggregate Funding, divided
2058	2058	11 by the sum of the Funding Gaps for all Tier 2
2059	2059	12 Organizational Units, unless the result of such
2060	2060	13 equation is higher than 1.0. If the result of such
2061	2061	14 equation is higher than 1.0, then the Tier 2
2062	2062	15 Allocation Rate is 1.0.
2063	2063	16 (C) The Tier 3 Allocation Rate is the result of the
2064	2064	17 following equation: Tier 3 Aggregate Funding, divided
2065	2065	18 by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 3
2066	2066	19 Organizational Units.
2067	2067	20 (D) The Tier 4 Allocation Rate is the result of the
2068	2068	21 following equation: Tier 4 Aggregate Funding, divided
2069	2069	22 by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 4
2070	2070	23 Organizational Units.
2071	2071	24 (5) A tier's Target Ratio is determined as follows:
2072	2072	25 (A) The Tier 1 Target Ratio is the ratio level that

2085	2085	2 (B) The Tier 2 Target Ratio is 0.90.
2086	2086	3 (C) The Tier 3 Target Ratio is 1.0.
2087	2087	4 (6) If, at any point, the Tier 1 Target Ratio is
2088	2088	5 greater than 90%, then all Tier 1 funding shall be
2089	2089	6 allocated to Tier 2 and no Tier 1 Organizational Unit's
2090	2090	7 funding may be identified.
2091	2091	8 (7) In the event that all Tier 2 Organizational Units
2092	2092	9 receive funding at the Tier 2 Target Ratio level, any
2093	2093	10 remaining New State Funds shall be allocated to Tier 3 and
2094	2094	11 Tier 4 Organizational Units.
2095	2095	12 (8) If any Specially Funded Units, excluding Glenwood
2096	2096	13 Academy, recognized by the State Board do not qualify for
2097	2097	14 direct funding following the implementation of Public Act
2098	2098	15 100-465 from any of the funding sources included within
2099	2099	16 the definition of Base Funding Minimum, the unqualified
2100	2100	17 portion of the Base Funding Minimum shall be transferred
2101	2101	18 to one or more appropriate Organizational Units as
2102	2102	19 determined by the State Superintendent based on the prior
2103	2103	20 year ASE of the Organizational Units.
2104	2104	21 (8.5) If a school district withdraws from a special
2105	2105	22 education cooperative, the portion of the Base Funding
2106	2106	23 Minimum that is attributable to the school district may be
2107	2107	24 redistributed to the school district upon withdrawal. The
2108	2108	25 school district and the cooperative must include the
2109	2109	26 amount of the Base Funding Minimum that is to be

2123	2123	4 (9) The Minimum Funding Level is intended to establish
2124	2124	5 a target for State funding that will keep pace with
2125	2125	6 inflation and continue to advance equity through the
2126	2126	7 Evidence-Based Funding formula. The target for State
2127	2127	8 funding of New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds is
2128	2128	9 $50,000,000 for State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent
2129	2129	10 State fiscal years. The Minimum Funding Level is equal to
2130	2130	11 $550,000,000 $350,000,000. In addition to any New State
2131	2131	12 Funds, no more than $50,000,000 New Property Tax Relief
2132	2132	13 Pool Funds may be counted toward the Minimum Funding
2133	2133	14 Level. If the sum of New State Funds and applicable New
2134	2134	15 Property Tax Relief Pool Funds are less than the Minimum
2135	2135	16 Funding Level, than funding for tiers shall be reduced in
2136	2136	17 the following manner:
2137	2137	18 (A) First, Tier 4 funding shall be reduced by an
2138	2138	19 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
2139	2139	20 Funding Level and New State Funds until such time as
2140	2140	21 Tier 4 funding is exhausted.
2141	2141	22 (B) Next, Tier 3 funding shall be reduced by an
2142	2142	23 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
2143	2143	24 Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
2144	2144	25 Tier 4 funding until such time as Tier 3 funding is
2145	2145	26 exhausted.

2156	2156	1 (C) Next, Tier 2 funding shall be reduced by an
2157	2157	2 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
2158	2158	3 Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
2159	2159	4 Tier 4 and Tier 3.
2160	2160	5 (D) Finally, Tier 1 funding shall be reduced by an
2161	2161	6 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
2162	2162	7 Funding level and New State Funds and the reduction in
2163	2163	8 Tier 2, 3, and 4 funding. In addition, the Allocation
2164	2164	9 Rate for Tier 1 shall be reduced to a percentage equal
2165	2165	10 to the Tier 1 Allocation Rate set by paragraph (4) of
2166	2166	11 this subsection (g), multiplied by the result of New
2167	2167	12 State Funds divided by the Minimum Funding Level.
2168	2168	13 (9.5) For State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent State
2169	2169	14 fiscal years, if New State Funds exceed $300,000,000, then
2170	2170	15 any amount in excess of $300,000,000 shall be dedicated
2171	2171	16 for purposes of Section 2-3.170 of this Code up to a
2172	2172	17 maximum of $50,000,000.
2173	2173	18 (10) In the event of a decrease in the amount of the
2174	2174	19 appropriation for this Section in any fiscal year after
2175	2175	20 implementation of this Section, the Organizational Units
2176	2176	21 receiving Tier 1 and Tier 2 funding, as determined under
2177	2177	22 paragraph (3) of this subsection (g), shall be held
2178	2178	23 harmless by establishing a Base Funding Guarantee equal to
2179	2179	24 the per pupil kindergarten through grade 12 funding
2180	2180	25 received in accordance with this Section in the prior
2181	2181	26 fiscal year. Reductions shall be made to the Base Funding

2194	2194	3 in Tier 3-funded and Tier 4-funded Organizational Units
2195	2195	4 divided by the total reduction in State funding. The Base
2196	2196	5 Funding Minimum as reduced shall continue to be applied to
2197	2197	6 Tier 3 and Tier 4 Organizational Units and adjusted by the
2198	2198	7 relative formula when increases in appropriations for this
2199	2199	8 Section resume. In no event may State funding reductions
2200	2200	9 to Organizational Units in Tier 3 or Tier 4 exceed an
2201	2201	10 amount that would be less than the Base Funding Minimum
2202	2202	11 established in the first year of implementation of this
2203	2203	12 Section. If additional reductions are required, all school
2204	2204	13 districts shall receive a reduction by a per pupil amount
2205	2205	14 equal to the aggregate additional appropriation reduction
2206	2206	15 divided by the total ASE of all Organizational Units.
2207	2207	16 (11) The State Superintendent shall make minor
2208	2208	17 adjustments to the distribution formula set forth in this
2209	2209	18 subsection (g) to account for the rounding of percentages
2210	2210	19 to the nearest tenth of a percentage and dollar amounts to

2232	2232	5 (3) Annually, the State Superintendent shall calculate
2233	2233	6 and report to each Organizational Unit the unit's
2234	2234	7 aggregate financial adequacy amount, which shall be the
2235	2235	8 sum of the Adequacy Target for each Organizational Unit.
2236	2236	9 The State Superintendent shall calculate and report
2237	2237	10 separately for each Organizational Unit the unit's total
2238	2238	11 State funds allocated for its students with disabilities.
2239	2239	12 The State Superintendent shall calculate and report
2240	2240	13 separately for each Organizational Unit the amount of
2241	2241	14 funding and applicable FTE calculated for each Essential
2242	2242	15 Element of the unit's Adequacy Target.
2243	2243	16 (4) Annually, the State Superintendent shall calculate
2244	2244	17 and report to each Organizational Unit the amount the unit
2245	2245	18 must expend on special education and bilingual education
2246	2246	19 and computer technology and equipment for Organizational
2247	2247	20 Units assigned to Tier 1 or Tier 2 that received an
2248	2248	21 additional $285.50 per student computer technology and

2267	2267	4 moneys appropriated for each fiscal year shall be
2268	2268	5 distributed in 22 equal payments at least 2 times monthly
2269	2269	6 to each Organizational Unit. If moneys appropriated for
2270	2270	7 any fiscal year are distributed other than monthly, the
2271	2271	8 distribution shall be on the same basis for each
2272	2272	9 Organizational Unit.
2273	2273	10 (6) Any school district that fails, for any given
2274	2274	11 school year, to maintain school as required by law or to
2275	2275	12 maintain a recognized school is not eligible to receive
2276	2276	13 Evidence-Based Funding. In case of non-recognition of one
2277	2277	14 or more attendance centers in a school district otherwise
2278	2278	15 operating recognized schools, the claim of the district
2279	2279	16 shall be reduced in the proportion that the enrollment in
2280	2280	17 the attendance center or centers bears to the enrollment
2281	2281	18 of the school district. "Recognized school" means any
2282	2282	19 public school that meets the standards for recognition by
2283	2283	20 the State Board. A school district or attendance center
2284	2284	21 not having recognition status at the end of a school term
2285	2285	22 is entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal
2286	2286	23 claim that was filed while it was recognized.

2300	2300	1 (8) Each fiscal year, the State Superintendent shall
2301	2301	2 calculate for each Organizational Unit an amount of its
2302	2302	3 Base Funding Minimum and Evidence-Based Funding that shall
2303	2303	4 be deemed attributable to the provision of special
2304	2304	5 educational facilities and services, as defined in Section
