5  school district must review annually the placement of a child
6  in an out-of-state special education residential facility. As

16  the provider must give written notice to this effect to the
17  parent or guardian, the contracting public school district,
18  and the State Board of Education no later than 20 business days
19  before the date of termination, unless the health and safety

12  for residential or day placement if the following have been
13  demonstrated to the State Board of Education:

1  facility has accepted the student or has availability for
2  immediate residential or day placement of the student.
3  A resident school district may also submit such proof to the
4  State Board of Education as may be required for its student.
5  The State Board of Education may not unreasonably withhold
6  approval once satisfactory proof is provided to the State
7  Board.
8  (f) If an impartial due process hearing officer who is
9  contracted by the State Board of Education pursuant to this
10  Article orders placement of a student with a disability in a
11  residential or day facility that is not approved by the State
12  Board of Education, then, for purposes of this Section, the
13  facility shall be deemed approved for placement and school
14  district payments and State reimbursements shall be made
15  accordingly. The State Board of Education's impartial due
16  process hearing officer shall have jurisdiction to resolve
17  disputes involving the need for placement in a non-State Board
18  of Education approved, student-specific, emergency placement,
19  the selection of the facility, and whether an approved
20  facility is an appropriate alternative to a non-approved
21  facility.
22  (g) Emergency residential or day placement in a facility
23  approved pursuant to subsection (e) or (f) may continue to be
24  utilized so long as (i) the student's IEP team determines

1  following the student's residential or day placement, the IEP
2  team reviews appropriate placements approved by the State
3  Board of Education pursuant to 23 Ill. Adm. Code 401 or other
4  applicable laws or rules to determine whether there are any
5  approved placements that can meet the student's needs, have
6  accepted the student, and have availability for placement of
7  the student and that transfer to another facility would not be
8  unduly disruptive to the student's educational progress.
9  (h) The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules
10  and regulations for determining when placement in a private
11  special education facility is appropriate. Such rules and
12  regulations shall take into account the various types of
13  services needed by a child and the availability of such
14  services to the particular child in the public school. In
15  developing these rules and regulations the State Board of
16  Education shall consult with the Advisory Council on Education
17  of Children with Disabilities and hold public hearings to
18  secure recommendations from parents, school personnel, and
19  others concerned about this matter.
20  The State Board of Education shall also promulgate rules
21  and regulations for transportation to and from a residential
22  or day school. Transportation to and from home to a
23  residential school more than once each school term shall be
24  subject to prior approval by the State Superintendent in
25  accordance with the rules and regulations of the State Board,
26  unless additional home visits are required by the facility.

1  (i) A school district making tuition payments pursuant to
2  this Section is eligible for reimbursement from the State for
3  the amount of such payments actually made in excess of the
4  district per capita tuition charge for students not receiving
5  special education services. Such reimbursement shall be
6  approved in accordance with Section 14-12.01 and each district
7  shall file its claims, computed in accordance with rules
8  prescribed by the State Board of Education, on forms
9  prescribed by the State Superintendent of Education. Data used
10  as a basis of reimbursement claims shall be for the preceding
11  regular school term and summer school term. Each school
12  district shall transmit its claims to the State Board of
13  Education on or before August 15. The State Board of
14  Education, before approving any such claims, shall determine
15  their accuracy and whether they are based upon services and
16  facilities provided under approved programs. Upon approval the
17  State Board shall cause vouchers to be prepared showing the
18  amount due for payment of reimbursement claims to school
19  districts, for transmittal to the State Comptroller on the
20  30th day of September, December, and March, respectively, and
21  the final voucher, no later than June 20. If the money
22  appropriated by the General Assembly for such purpose for any
23  year is insufficient, it shall be apportioned on the basis of
24  the claims approved.

26  program pursuant to this Section if the tuition cost for

1  special education and related services increases more than 10
2  percent over the tuition cost for the previous school year or

13  school, one non-voting member who is an administrator of a
14  separate public special education day school, and one
15  non-voting member from a State agency that administers and
16  provides early childhood education and care programs and

19  allowable costs and payments made by local school districts
20  for special education, room and board, and other related
21  services provided by non-public schools, separate public
22  special education day schools, or special education facilities
23  and shall establish uniform standards and criteria which it

7  General Assembly to front line personnel defined as direct
8  support persons, aides, front-line supervisors, qualified
9  intellectual disabilities professionals, nurses, and
10  non-administrative support staff working in service settings
11  in community-based settings within the State and adjust
12  customary rates or rates of a special education program to be
13  equitable to the wage increase awarded to similar staff
14  positions in a community residential setting. 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. Illinois Administrative Code
26  Title 89, Part 900, Section 342 shall be updated to recognize

1  wage increases awarded to community-based settings to be a
2  basis for appeal. However, any wage increase that is captured
3  upon appeal from a previous year shall not be counted by the
4  Review Board as revenue for the purpose of calculating a
5  facility's future rate.
6  (l) Any definition used by the Review Board in
7  administrative rule or policy to define "related
8  organizations" shall include any and all exceptions contained
9  in federal law or regulation as it pertains to the federal
10  definition of "related organizations".
11  (m) The Review Board shall establish uniform definitions
12  and criteria for accounting separately by special education,
13  room and board and other related services costs. The Board
14  shall also establish guidelines for the coordination of
15  services and financial assistance provided by all State
16  agencies to assure that no otherwise qualified child with a
17  disability receiving services under Article 14 shall be
18  excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of or
19  be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity
20  provided by any State agency.
21  (n) The Review Board shall review the costs for special
22  education and related services provided by non-public schools,
23  separate public special education day schools, or special
24  education facilities and shall approve or disapprove such
25  facilities in accordance with the rules and regulations
26  established by it with respect to allowable costs.

1  (o) The State Board of Education shall provide
2  administrative and staff support for the Review Board as
3  deemed reasonable by the State Superintendent of Education.
4  This support shall not include travel expenses or other
5  compensation for any Review Board member other than the State
6  Superintendent of Education.
7  (p) The Review Board shall seek the advice of the Advisory
8  Council on Education of Children with Disabilities on the
9  rules and regulations to be promulgated by it relative to
10  providing special education services.
11  (q) If a child has been placed in a program in which the
12  actual per pupil costs of tuition for special education and
13  related services based on program enrollment, excluding room,
14  board and transportation costs, exceed $4,500 and such costs
15  have been approved by the Review Board, the district shall pay
16  such total costs which exceed $4,500. 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

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. The frequency for submitting estimated claims and the
25  method of determining payment shall be prescribed in rules and

1  current state reimbursement shall be reduced by an amount
2  equal to the proceeds which the child or child's parents are
3  eligible to receive under any public or private insurance or
4  assistance program. Nothing in this Section shall be construed
5  as relieving an insurer or similar third party from an
6  otherwise valid obligation to provide or to pay for services
7  provided to a child with a disability.
8  (s) If it otherwise qualifies, a school district is
9  eligible for the transportation reimbursement under Section
10  14-13.01 and for the reimbursement of tuition payments under
11  this Section whether the non-public school or special
12  education facility, public out-of-state school or county
13  special education facility, attended by a child who resides in
14  that district and requires special educational services, is
15  within or outside of the State of Illinois. 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

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. However, if a child is unilaterally
6  placed by a State agency or any court in a non-public school or
7  special education facility, public out-of-state school, or
8  county special education facility, a school district shall not
9  be required to certify to the State Superintendent of
10  Education, for the purpose of tuition reimbursement, that the
11  special education program of that district is unable to meet
12  the needs of a child because of his or her disability.
13  (u) Any educational or related services provided, pursuant
14  to this Section in a non-public school or special education
15  facility or a special education facility owned and operated by
16  a county government unit shall be at no cost to the parent or
17  guardian of the child. However, current law and practices
18  relative to contributions by parents or guardians for costs
19  other than educational or related services are not affected by
20  this amendatory Act of 1978.
21  (v) Reimbursement for children attending public school
22  residential facilities shall be made in accordance with the
23  provisions of this Section.
24  (w) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any school
25  district receiving a payment under this Section or under
26  Section 14-7.02b, 14-13.01, or 29-5 of this Code may classify

1  all or a portion of the funds that it receives in a particular
2  fiscal year or from general State aid pursuant to Section
3  18-8.05 of this Code as funds received in connection with any
4  funding program for which it is entitled to receive funds from
5  the State in that fiscal year (including, without limitation,
6  any funding program referenced in this Section), regardless of
7  the source or timing of the receipt. The district may not
8  classify more funds as funds received in connection with the
9  funding program than the district is entitled to receive in
10  that fiscal year for that program. Any classification by a
11  district must be made by a resolution of its board of
12  education. The resolution must identify the amount of any
13  payments or general State aid to be classified under this
14  paragraph and must specify the funding program to which the
15  funds are to be treated as received in connection therewith.
16  This resolution is controlling as to the classification of
17  funds referenced therein. A certified copy of the resolution
18  must be sent to the State Superintendent of Education. The
19  resolution shall still take effect even though a copy of the
20  resolution has not been sent to the State Superintendent of
21  Education in a timely manner. No classification under this
22  paragraph by a district shall affect the total amount or
23  timing of money the district is entitled to receive under this
24  Code. No classification under this paragraph by a district
25  shall in any way relieve the district from or affect any
26  requirements that otherwise would apply with respect to that
