237	237	19 (a) General provisions.
238	238	20 (1) The purpose of this Section is to ensure that, by
239	239	21 June 30, 2027 and beyond, this State has a kindergarten
240	240	22 through grade 12 public education system with the capacity
241	241	23 to ensure the educational development of all persons to
242	242	24 the limits of their capacities in accordance with Section
243	243	25 1 of Article X of the Constitution of the State of

254	254	1 Illinois. To accomplish that objective, this Section
255	255	2 creates a method of funding public education that is
256	256	3 evidence-based; is sufficient to ensure every student
257	257	4 receives a meaningful opportunity to learn irrespective of
258	258	5 race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or
259	259	6 community-income level; and is sustainable and
260	260	7 predictable. When fully funded under this Section, every
261	261	8 school shall have the resources, based on what the
262	262	9 evidence indicates is needed, to:
263	263	10 (A) provide all students with a high quality
264	264	11 education that offers the academic, enrichment, social
265	265	12 and emotional support, technical, and career-focused
266	266	13 programs that will allow them to become competitive
267	267	14 workers, responsible parents, productive citizens of
268	268	15 this State, and active members of our national
269	269	16 democracy;
270	270	17 (B) ensure all students receive the education they
271	271	18 need to graduate from high school with the skills
272	272	19 required to pursue post-secondary education and
273	273	20 training for a rewarding career;
274	274	21 (C) reduce, with a goal of eliminating, the
275	275	22 achievement gap between at-risk and non-at-risk
276	276	23 students by raising the performance of at-risk
277	277	24 students and not by reducing standards; and
278	278	25 (D) ensure this State satisfies its obligation to
279	279	26 assume the primary responsibility to fund public

291	291	2 disproportionate burden placed on local property taxes
292	292	3 to fund schools.
293	293	4 (2) The Evidence-Based Funding formula under this
294	294	5 Section shall be applied to all Organizational Units in
295	295	6 this State. The Evidence-Based Funding formula outlined in
296	296	7 this Act is based on the formula outlined in Senate Bill 1
297	297	8 of the 100th General Assembly, as passed by both
298	298	9 legislative chambers. As further defined and described in
299	299	10 this Section, there are 4 major components of the
300	300	11 Evidence-Based Funding model:
301	301	12 (A) First, the model calculates a unique Adequacy
302	302	13 Target for each Organizational Unit in this State that
303	303	14 considers the costs to implement research-based
304	304	15 activities, the unit's student demographics, and
305	305	16 regional wage differences.
306	306	17 (B) Second, the model calculates each
307	307	18 Organizational Unit's Local Capacity, or the amount
308	308	19 each Organizational Unit is assumed to contribute
309	309	20 toward its Adequacy Target from local resources.
310	310	21 (C) Third, the model calculates how much funding
311	311	22 the State currently contributes to the Organizational
312	312	23 Unit and adds that to the unit's Local Capacity to
313	313	24 determine the unit's overall current adequacy of
314	314	25 funding.

882	882	17 the original county's CWI value will be weighted at 0.25
883	883	18 and the adjacent Illinois county average will be weighted
884	884	19 at 0.75. If the number of adjacent Illinois counties is 2,
885	885	20 the original county's CWI value will be weighted at 0.33
886	886	21 and the adjacent Illinois county average will be weighted
887	887	22 at 0.66. The greater of the county's current CWI value and

1491	1491	14 Regionalization Factor.
1492	1492	15 (c) Local Capacity calculation.
1493	1493	16 (1) Each Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
1494	1494	17 represents an amount of funding it is assumed to
1495	1495	18 contribute toward its Adequacy Target for purposes of the
1496	1496	19 Evidence-Based Funding formula calculation. "Local
1497	1497	20 Capacity" means either (i) the Organizational Unit's Local
1498	1498	21 Capacity Target as calculated in accordance with paragraph
1499	1499	22 (2) of this subsection (c) if its Real Receipts are equal
1500	1500	23 to or less than its Local Capacity Target or (ii) the
1501	1501	24 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity, as
1502	1502	25 calculated in accordance with paragraph (3) of this

1514	1514	1 Capacity Target.
1515	1515	2 (2) "Local Capacity Target" means, for an
1516	1516	3 Organizational Unit, that dollar amount that is obtained
1517	1517	4 by multiplying its Adequacy Target by its Local Capacity
1518	1518	5 Ratio.
1519	1519	6 (A) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
1520	1520	7 Percentage is the conversion of the Organizational
1521	1521	8 Unit's Local Capacity Ratio, as such ratio is
1522	1522	9 determined in accordance with subparagraph (B) of this
1523	1523	10 paragraph (2), into a cumulative distribution
1524	1524	11 resulting in a percentile ranking to determine each
1525	1525	12 Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
1526	1526	13 Organizational Units in this State. The calculation of
1527	1527	14 Local Capacity Percentage is described in subparagraph
1528	1528	15 (C) of this paragraph (2).
1529	1529	16 (B) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio
1530	1530	17 in a given year is the percentage obtained by dividing
1531	1531	18 its Adjusted EAV or PTELL EAV, whichever is less, by
1532	1532	19 its Adequacy Target, with the resulting ratio further
1533	1533	20 adjusted as follows:
1534	1534	21 (i) for Organizational Units serving grades
1535	1535	22 kindergarten through 12 and Hybrid Districts, no
1536	1536	23 further adjustments shall be made;
1537	1537	24 (ii) for Organizational Units serving grades
1538	1538	25 kindergarten through 8, the ratio shall be
1539	1539	26 multiplied by 9/13;

1550	1550	1 (iii) for Organizational Units serving grades
1551	1551	2 9 through 12, the Local Capacity Ratio shall be
1552	1552	3 multiplied by 4/13; and
1553	1553	4 (iv) for an Organizational Unit with a
1554	1554	5 different grade configuration than those specified
1555	1555	6 in items (i) through (iii) of this subparagraph
1556	1556	7 (B), the State Superintendent shall determine a
1557	1557	8 comparable adjustment based on the grades served.
1558	1558	9 (C) The Local Capacity Percentage is equal to the
1559	1559	10 percentile ranking of the district. Local Capacity
1560	1560	11 Percentage converts each Organizational Unit's Local
1561	1561	12 Capacity Ratio to a cumulative distribution resulting
1562	1562	13 in a percentile ranking to determine each
1563	1563	14 Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
1564	1564	15 Organizational Units in this State. The Local Capacity
1565	1565	16 Percentage cumulative distribution resulting in a
1566	1566	17 percentile ranking for each Organizational Unit shall
1567	1567	18 be calculated using the standard normal distribution
1568	1568	19 of the score in relation to the weighted mean and
1569	1569	20 weighted standard deviation and Local Capacity Ratios
1570	1570	21 of all Organizational Units. If the value assigned to
1571	1571	22 any Organizational Unit is in excess of 90%, the value
1572	1572	23 shall be adjusted to 90%. For Laboratory Schools, the
1573	1573	24 Local Capacity Percentage shall be set at 10% in
1574	1574	25 recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
1575	1575	26 the public university that are allocated to the

1586	1586	1 Laboratory School. For a regional office of education
1587	1587	2 or an intermediate service center operating one or
1588	1588	3 more alternative education programs, the Local
1589	1589	4 Capacity Percentage must be set at 10% in recognition
1590	1590	5 of the absence of EAV and resources from school
1591	1591	6 districts that are allocated to the regional office of
1592	1592	7 education or intermediate service center. The weighted
1593	1593	8 mean for the Local Capacity Percentage shall be
1594	1594	9 determined by multiplying each Organizational Unit's
1595	1595	10 Local Capacity Ratio times the ASE for the unit
1596	1596	11 creating a weighted value, summing the weighted values
1597	1597	12 of all Organizational Units, and dividing by the total
1598	1598	13 ASE of all Organizational Units. The weighted standard
1599	1599	14 deviation shall be determined by taking the square
1600	1600	15 root of the weighted variance of all Organizational
1601	1601	16 Units' Local Capacity Ratio, where the variance is
1602	1602	17 calculated by squaring the difference between each
1603	1603	18 unit's Local Capacity Ratio and the weighted mean,
1604	1604	19 then multiplying the variance for each unit times the
1605	1605	20 ASE for the unit to create a weighted variance for each
1606	1606	21 unit, then summing all units' weighted variance and
1607	1607	22 dividing by the total ASE of all units.
1608	1608	23 (D) For any Organizational Unit, the
1609	1609	24 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity Target
1610	1610	25 shall be reduced by either (i) the school board's

1636	1636	15 (3) If an Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are more
1637	1637	16 than its Local Capacity Target, then its Local Capacity
1638	1638	17 shall equal an Adjusted Local Capacity Target as
1639	1639	18 calculated in accordance with this paragraph (3). The
1640	1640	19 Adjusted Local Capacity Target is calculated as the sum of
1641	1641	20 the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target and its
1642	1642	21 Real Receipts Adjustment. The Real Receipts Adjustment
1643	1643	22 equals the Organizational Unit's Real Receipts less its
1644	1644	23 Local Capacity Target, with the resulting figure
1645	1645	24 multiplied by the Local Capacity Percentage.
1646	1646	25 As used in this paragraph (3), "Real Percent of

1662	1662	5 for purposes of the Local Capacity calculation.
1663	1663	6 (1) An Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are the
1664	1664	7 product of its Applicable Tax Rate and its Adjusted EAV.
1665	1665	8 An Organizational Unit's Applicable Tax Rate is its
1666	1666	9 Adjusted Operating Tax Rate for property within the
1667	1667	10 Organizational Unit.
1668	1668	11 (2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
1669	1669	12 equalized assessed valuation, or EAV, of all taxable
1670	1670	13 property of each Organizational Unit as of September 30 of
1671	1671	14 the previous year in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
1672	1672	15 subsection (d). The State Superintendent shall then
1673	1673	16 determine the Adjusted EAV of each Organizational Unit in
1674	1674	17 accordance with paragraph (4) of this subsection (d),
1675	1675	18 which Adjusted EAV figure shall be used for the purposes
1676	1676	19 of calculating Local Capacity.
1677	1677	20 (3) To calculate Real Receipts and EAV, the Department
1678	1678	21 of Revenue shall supply to the State Superintendent the
1679	1679	22 value as equalized or assessed by the Department of
1680	1680	23 Revenue of all taxable property of every Organizational
1681	1681	24 Unit, together with (i) the applicable tax rate used in

1850	1850	13 calculations, in the following year, the Adjusted EAV
1851	1851	14 shall be the average of its EAV over the immediately
1852	1852	15 preceding 2 years or the immediately preceding year if
1853	1853	16 that year represents a decline of 10% or more when

2022	2022	5 Code for a minimum of 4 school years or is subject to
2023	2023	6 the control of the State Board pursuant to a court
2024	2024	7 order for a minimum of 4 school years.
2025	2025	8 (B) The Organizational Unit was designated as a
2026	2026	9 Tier 1 or Tier 2 Organizational Unit in the previous
2027	2027	10 school year under paragraph (3) of subsection (g) of
2028	2028	11 this Section.
2029	2029	12 (C) The Organizational Unit demonstrates
2030	2030	13 sustainability through a 5-year financial and
2031	2031	14 strategic plan.
2032	2032	15 (D) The Organizational Unit has made sufficient
2033	2033	16 progress and achieved sufficient stability in the
2034	2034	17 areas of governance, academic growth, and finances.
2035	2035	18 As part of its determination under this paragraph (3),
2036	2036	19 the State Board may consider the Organizational Unit's
2037	2037	20 summative designation, any accreditations of the
2038	2038	21 Organizational Unit, or the Organizational Unit's
2039	2039	22 financial profile, as calculated by the State Board.
2040	2040	23 If the State Board determines that an Organizational
2041	2041	24 Unit has met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3),
2042	2042	25 it must submit a report to the General Assembly, no later
2043	2043	26 than January 2 of the fiscal year in which the State Board

2054	2054	1 makes it determination, on the amount of District
2055	2055	2 Intervention Money to add to the Organizational Unit's
2056	2056	3 Base Funding Minimum. The General Assembly must review the
2057	2057	4 State Board's report and may approve or disapprove, by
2058	2058	5 joint resolution, the addition of District Intervention
2059	2059	6 Money. If the General Assembly fails to act on the report
2060	2060	7 within 40 calendar days from the receipt of the report,
2061	2061	8 the addition of District Intervention Money is deemed
2062	2062	9 approved. If the General Assembly approves the amount of
2063	2063	10 District Intervention Money to be added to the
2064	2064	11 Organizational Unit's Base Funding Minimum, the District
2065	2065	12 Intervention Money must be added to the Base Funding
2066	2066	13 Minimum annually thereafter.
2067	2067	14 For the first 4 years following the initial year that
2068	2068	15 the State Board determines that an Organizational Unit has
2069	2069	16 met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3) and has
2070	2070	17 received funding under this Section, the Organizational
2071	2071	18 Unit must annually submit to the State Board, on or before
2072	2072	19 November 30, a progress report regarding its financial and
2073	2073	20 strategic plan under subparagraph (C) of this paragraph
2074	2074	21 (3). The plan shall include the financial data from the
2075	2075	22 past 4 annual financial reports or financial audits that
2076	2076	23 must be presented to the State Board by November 15 of each
2077	2077	24 year and the approved budget financial data for the
2078	2078	25 current year. The plan shall be developed according to the

2091	2091	2 projections for the next 3 fiscal years and include a
2092	2092	3 discussion and financial summary of the Organizational
2093	2093	4 Unit's facility needs. If the Organizational Unit does not
2094	2094	5 demonstrate sufficient progress toward its 5-year plan or
2095	2095	6 if it has failed to file an annual financial report, an
2096	2096	7 annual budget, a financial plan, a deficit reduction plan,
2097	2097	8 or other financial information as required by law, the
2098	2098	9 State Board may establish a Financial Oversight Panel
2099	2099	10 under Article 1H of this Code. However, if the
2100	2100	11 Organizational Unit already has a Financial Oversight
2101	2101	12 Panel, the State Board may extend the duration of the
2102	2102	13 Panel.
2103	2103	14 (f) Percent of Adequacy and Final Resources calculation.
2104	2104	15 (1) The Evidence-Based Funding formula establishes a
2105	2105	16 Percent of Adequacy for each Organizational Unit in order
2106	2106	17 to place such units into tiers for the purposes of the
2107	2107	18 funding distribution system described in subsection (g) of
2108	2108	19 this Section. Initially, an Organizational Unit's
2109	2109	20 Preliminary Resources and Preliminary Percent of Adequacy
2110	2110	21 are calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of this
2111	2111	22 subsection (f). Then, an Organizational Unit's Final
2112	2112	23 Resources and Final Percent of Adequacy are calculated to
2113	2113	24 account for the Organizational Unit's poverty
2114	2114	25 concentration levels pursuant to paragraphs (3) and (4) of
2115	2115	26 this subsection (f).

2126	2126	1 (2) An Organizational Unit's Preliminary Resources are
2127	2127	2 equal to the sum of its Local Capacity Target, CPPRT, and
2128	2128	3 Base Funding Minimum. An Organizational Unit's Preliminary
2129	2129	4 Percent of Adequacy is the lesser of (i) its Preliminary
2130	2130	5 Resources divided by its Adequacy Target or (ii) 100%.
2131	2131	6 (3) Except for Specially Funded Units, an
2132	2132	7 Organizational Unit's Final Resources are equal to the sum
2133	2133	8 of its Local Capacity, CPPRT, and Adjusted Base Funding
2134	2134	9 Minimum. The Base Funding Minimum of each Specially Funded
2135	2135	10 Unit shall serve as its Final Resources, except that the
2136	2136	11 Base Funding Minimum for State-approved charter schools
2137	2137	12 shall not include any portion of general State aid
2138	2138	13 allocated in the prior year based on the per capita
2139	2139	14 tuition charge times the charter school enrollment.
2140	2140	15 (4) An Organizational Unit's Final Percent of Adequacy
2141	2141	16 is its Final Resources divided by its Adequacy Target. An
2142	2142	17 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Base Funding Minimum is
2143	2143	18 equal to its Base Funding Minimum less its Supplemental
2144	2144	19 Grant Funding, with the resulting figure added to the
2145	2145	20 product of its Supplemental Grant Funding and Preliminary
2146	2146	21 Percent of Adequacy.
2147	2147	22 (g) Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system.
2148	2148	23 (1) In each school year under the Evidence-Based
2149	2149	24 Funding formula, each Organizational Unit receives funding
2150	2150	25 equal to the sum of its Base Funding Minimum and the unit's
2151	2151	26 allocation of New State Funds determined pursuant to this

2162	2162	1 subsection (g). To allocate New State Funds, the
2163	2163	2 Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system first
2164	2164	3 places all Organizational Units into one of 4 tiers in
2165	2165	4 accordance with paragraph (3) of this subsection (g),
2166	2166	5 based on the Organizational Unit's Final Percent of
2167	2167	6 Adequacy. New State Funds are allocated to each of the 4
2168	2168	7 tiers as follows: Tier 1 Aggregate Funding equals 50% of
2169	2169	8 all New State Funds, Tier 2 Aggregate Funding equals 49%
2170	2170	9 of all New State Funds, Tier 3 Aggregate Funding equals
2171	2171	10 0.9% of all New State Funds, and Tier 4 Aggregate Funding
2172	2172	11 equals 0.1% of all New State Funds. Each Organizational
2173	2173	12 Unit within Tier 1 or Tier 2 receives an allocation of New
2174	2174	13 State Funds equal to its tier Funding Gap, as defined in
2175	2175	14 the following sentence, multiplied by the tier's
2176	2176	15 Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4) of
2177	2177	16 this subsection (g). For Tier 1, an Organizational Unit's
2178	2178	17 Funding Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as specified
2179	2179	18 in paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
2180	2180	19 Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
2181	2181	20 amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
2182	2182	21 Resources. For Tier 2, an Organizational Unit's Funding
2183	2183	22 Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as described in
2184	2184	23 paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
2185	2185	24 Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
2186	2186	25 amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
2187	2187	26 Resources and its Tier 1 funding allocation. To determine

2198	2198	1 the Organizational Unit's Funding Gap, the resulting
2199	2199	2 amount is then multiplied by a factor equal to one minus
2200	2200	3 the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target
2201	2201	4 percentage. Each Organizational Unit within Tier 3 or Tier
2202	2202	5 4 receives an allocation of New State Funds equal to the
2203	2203	6 product of its Adequacy Target and the tier's Allocation
2204	2204	7 Rate, as specified in paragraph (4) of this subsection
2205	2205	8 (g).
2206	2206	9 (2) To ensure equitable distribution of dollars for
2207	2207	10 all Tier 2 Organizational Units, no Tier 2 Organizational
2208	2208	11 Unit shall receive fewer dollars per ASE than any Tier 3
2209	2209	12 Organizational Unit. Each Tier 2 and Tier 3 Organizational
2210	2210	13 Unit shall have its funding allocation divided by its ASE.
2211	2211	14 Any Tier 2 Organizational Unit with a funding allocation
2212	2212	15 per ASE below the greatest Tier 3 allocation per ASE shall
2213	2213	16 get a funding allocation equal to the greatest Tier 3
2214	2214	17 funding allocation per ASE multiplied by the
2215	2215	18 Organizational Unit's ASE. Each Tier 2 Organizational
2216	2216	19 Unit's Tier 2 funding allocation shall be multiplied by
2217	2217	20 the percentage calculated by dividing the original Tier 2
2218	2218	21 Aggregate Funding by the sum of all Tier 2 Organizational
2219	2219	22 Units' Tier 2 funding allocation after adjusting
2220	2220	23 districts' funding below Tier 3 levels.
2221	2221	24 (3) Organizational Units are placed into one of 4
2222	2222	25 tiers as follows:
2223	2223	26 (A) Tier 1 consists of all Organizational Units,

2234	2234	1 except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
2235	2235	2 Adequacy less than the Tier 1 Target Ratio. The Tier 1
2236	2236	3 Target Ratio is the ratio level that allows for Tier 1
2237	2237	4 Aggregate Funding to be distributed, with the Tier 1
2238	2238	5 Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4)
2239	2239	6 of this subsection (g).
2240	2240	7 (B) Tier 2 consists of all Tier 1 Units and all
2241	2241	8 other Organizational Units, except for Specially
2242	2242	9 Funded Units, with a Percent of Adequacy of less than
2243	2243	10 0.90.
2244	2244	11 (C) Tier 3 consists of all Organizational Units,
2245	2245	12 except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
2246	2246	13 Adequacy of at least 0.90 and less than 1.0.
2247	2247	14 (D) Tier 4 consists of all Organizational Units
2248	2248	15 with a Percent of Adequacy of at least 1.0.
2249	2249	16 (4) The Allocation Rates for Tiers 1 through 4 are
2250	2250	17 determined as follows:
2251	2251	18 (A) The Tier 1 Allocation Rate is 30%.
2252	2252	19 (B) The Tier 2 Allocation Rate is the result of the
2253	2253	20 following equation: Tier 2 Aggregate Funding, divided
2254	2254	21 by the sum of the Funding Gaps for all Tier 2
2255	2255	22 Organizational Units, unless the result of such
2256	2256	23 equation is higher than 1.0. If the result of such
2257	2257	24 equation is higher than 1.0, then the Tier 2
2258	2258	25 Allocation Rate is 1.0.
2259	2259	26 (C) The Tier 3 Allocation Rate is the result of the

2270	2270	1 following equation: Tier 3 Aggregate Funding, divided
2271	2271	2 by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 3
2272	2272	3 Organizational Units.
2273	2273	4 (D) The Tier 4 Allocation Rate is the result of the
2274	2274	5 following equation: Tier 4 Aggregate Funding, divided
2275	2275	6 by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 4
2276	2276	7 Organizational Units.
2277	2277	8 (5) A tier's Target Ratio is determined as follows:
2278	2278	9 (A) The Tier 1 Target Ratio is the ratio level that
2279	2279	10 allows for Tier 1 Aggregate Funding to be distributed
2280	2280	11 with the Tier 1 Allocation Rate.
2281	2281	12 (B) The Tier 2 Target Ratio is 0.90.
2282	2282	13 (C) The Tier 3 Target Ratio is 1.0.
2283	2283	14 (6) If, at any point, the Tier 1 Target Ratio is
2284	2284	15 greater than 90%, then all Tier 1 funding shall be
2285	2285	16 allocated to Tier 2 and no Tier 1 Organizational Unit's
2286	2286	17 funding may be identified.
2287	2287	18 (7) In the event that all Tier 2 Organizational Units
2288	2288	19 receive funding at the Tier 2 Target Ratio level, any
2289	2289	20 remaining New State Funds shall be allocated to Tier 3 and
2290	2290	21 Tier 4 Organizational Units.
2291	2291	22 (8) If any Specially Funded Units, excluding Glenwood
2292	2292	23 Academy, recognized by the State Board do not qualify for
2293	2293	24 direct funding following the implementation of Public Act
2294	2294	25 100-465 from any of the funding sources included within

2306	2306	1 portion of the Base Funding Minimum shall be transferred
2307	2307	2 to one or more appropriate Organizational Units as
2308	2308	3 determined by the State Superintendent based on the prior
2309	2309	4 year ASE of the Organizational Units.
2310	2310	5 (8.5) If a school district withdraws from a special
2311	2311	6 education cooperative, the portion of the Base Funding
2312	2312	7 Minimum that is attributable to the school district may be
2313	2313	8 redistributed to the school district upon withdrawal. The
2314	2314	9 school district and the cooperative must include the
2315	2315	10 amount of the Base Funding Minimum that is to be
2316	2316	11 reapportioned in their withdrawal agreement and notify the
2317	2317	12 State Board of the change with a copy of the agreement upon
2318	2318	13 withdrawal.
2319	2319	14 (9) The Minimum Funding Level is intended to establish
2320	2320	15 a target for State funding that will keep pace with
2321	2321	16 inflation and continue to advance equity through the
2322	2322	17 Evidence-Based Funding formula. The target for State
2323	2323	18 funding of New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds is
2324	2324	19 $50,000,000 for State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent
2325	2325	20 State fiscal years. The Minimum Funding Level is equal to
2326	2326	21 $350,000,000. In addition to any New State Funds, no more
2327	2327	22 than $50,000,000 New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds may be
2328	2328	23 counted toward the Minimum Funding Level. If the sum of
2329	2329	24 New State Funds and applicable New Property Tax Relief
2330	2330	25 Pool Funds are less than the Minimum Funding Level, than
2331	2331	26 funding for tiers shall be reduced in the following

2347	2347	6 (B) Next, Tier 3 funding shall be reduced by an
2348	2348	7 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
2349	2349	8 Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
2350	2350	9 Tier 4 funding until such time as Tier 3 funding is
2351	2351	10 exhausted.

2360	2360	19 Rate for Tier 1 shall be reduced to a percentage equal
2361	2361	20 to the Tier 1 Allocation Rate set by paragraph (4) of
2362	2362	21 this subsection (g), multiplied by the result of New
2363	2363	22 State Funds divided by the Minimum Funding Level.
2364	2364	23 (9.5) For State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent State
2365	2365	24 fiscal years, if New State Funds exceed $300,000,000, then
2366	2366	25 any amount in excess of $300,000,000 shall be dedicated

2381	2381	4 implementation of this Section, the Organizational Units
2382	2382	5 receiving Tier 1 and Tier 2 funding, as determined under
2383	2383	6 paragraph (3) of this subsection (g), shall be held
2384	2384	7 harmless by establishing a Base Funding Guarantee equal to
2385	2385	8 the per pupil kindergarten through grade 12 funding
2386	2386	9 received in accordance with this Section in the prior
2387	2387	10 fiscal year. Reductions shall be made to the Base Funding
2388	2388	11 Minimum of Organizational Units in Tier 3 and Tier 4 on a
2389	2389	12 per pupil basis equivalent to the total number of the ASE
2390	2390	13 in Tier 3-funded and Tier 4-funded Organizational Units
2391	2391	14 divided by the total reduction in State funding. The Base
2392	2392	15 Funding Minimum as reduced shall continue to be applied to
2393	2393	16 Tier 3 and Tier 4 Organizational Units and adjusted by the
2394	2394	17 relative formula when increases in appropriations for this
2395	2395	18 Section resume. In no event may State funding reductions
2396	2396	19 to Organizational Units in Tier 3 or Tier 4 exceed an
2397	2397	20 amount that would be less than the Base Funding Minimum
2398	2398	21 established in the first year of implementation of this
2399	2399	22 Section. If additional reductions are required, all school
2400	2400	23 districts shall receive a reduction by a per pupil amount
2401	2401	24 equal to the aggregate additional appropriation reduction
