Any wage 15 increase awarded by the General Assembly to front line 16 personnel defined as direct support persons, aides, front-line 17 supervisors, qualified intellectual disabilities 18 professionals, nurses, and non-administrative support staff 19 working in community-based settings within the State, 20 including the $0.75 per hour increase contained in Public Act 21 100-23 and the $0.50 per hour increase included in Public Act 22 100-23, shall also be a basis for any facility covered by this 23 Section to appeal its rate before the Review Board under the 24 process defined in Title 89, Part 900, Section 340 of the 25 Illinois Administrative Code.

A district making such 17 tuition payments in excess of $4,500 pursuant to this Section 18 shall be responsible for an amount in excess of $4,500 equal to 19 the district per capita tuition charge and shall be eligible 20 for reimbursement from the State for the amount of such 21 payments actually made in excess of the district's per capita 22 tuition charge for students not receiving special education 23 services. If a child has been placed in a private special 24 education school, separate public special education day 25 school, or private special education facility, a district 26 making tuition payments in excess of $4,500 pursuant to this HB1165 - 11 - LRB104 06342 LNS 16378 b HB1165- 12 -LRB104 06342 LNS 16378 b HB1165 - 12 - LRB104 06342 LNS 16378 b HB1165 - 12 - LRB104 06342 LNS 16378 b 1 Section shall be responsible for an amount in excess of $4,500 2 equal to 2 times the district's per capita tuition charge and 3 shall be eligible for reimbursement from the State for the 4 amount of such payments actually made in excess of 2 times the 5 district's per capita tuition charge for students not 6 receiving special education services. 7 (r) If a child has been placed in an approved individual 8 program and the tuition costs including room and board costs 9 have been approved by the Review Board, then such room and 10 board costs shall be paid by the appropriate State agency 11 subject to the provisions of Section 14-8.01 of this Act. Room 12 and board costs not provided by a State agency other than the 13 State Board of Education shall be provided by the State Board 14 of Education on a current basis. In no event, however, shall 15 the State's liability for funding of these tuition costs begin 16 until after the legal obligations of third party payors have 17 been subtracted from such costs. If the money appropriated by 18 the General Assembly for such purpose for any year is 19 insufficient, it shall be apportioned on the basis of the 20 claims approved. Each district shall submit estimated claims 21 to the State Superintendent of Education. Upon approval of 22 such claims, the State Superintendent of Education shall 23 direct the State Comptroller to make payments on a monthly 24 basis.

However, a 16 district is not eligible to claim transportation reimbursement 17 under this Section unless the district certifies to the State 18 Superintendent of Education that the district is unable to 19 provide special educational services required by the child for 20 the current school year. 21 (t) Nothing in this Section authorizes the reimbursement 22 of a school district for the amount paid for tuition of a child 23 attending a non-public school or special education facility, a 24 public special education facility, a public out-of-state 25 school, or a county special education facility unless the 26 school district certifies to the State Superintendent of HB1165 - 13 - LRB104 06342 LNS 16378 b HB1165- 14 -LRB104 06342 LNS 16378 b HB1165 - 14 - LRB104 06342 LNS 16378 b HB1165 - 14 - LRB104 06342 LNS 16378 b 1 Education that the special education program of that district 2 is unable to meet the needs of that child because of the 3 child's disability and the State Superintendent of Education 4 finds that the school district is in substantial compliance 5 with Section 14-4.01.
