1 transported to and from their assigned attendance centers
2 during the school day shall be reimbursed by the State as
3 hereinafter provided in this Section.
4 The State will pay the prorated allowable cost of
5 transporting eligible pupils less the real equalized assessed
6 valuation as computed under paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of
7 Section 18-8.15 in a dual school district maintaining
8 secondary grades 9 to 12 inclusive times a qualifying rate of
9 .05%; in elementary school districts maintaining
10 prekindergarten to grade grades K to 8 times a qualifying rate
11 of .06%; and in unit districts maintaining prekindergarten
12 grades K to grade 12, including partial elementary unit
13 districts formed pursuant to Article 11E, times a qualifying
14 rate of .07%. For a State-authorized charter school, the State
15 shall pay the prorated allowable cost of transporting eligible
16 pupils less a real equalized assessed valuation calculated
17 pursuant to this Section times a qualifying rate. For purposes
18 of calculating the real equalized assessed valuation for a
19 State-authorized charter school whose resident district is not
20 a school district organized under Article 34 of this Code, the
21 State Board of Education shall calculate the average of the
22 number of students attending prekindergarten to grade in
23 grades kindergarten through 12 reported as enrolled in the
24 charter school in the State Board's Student Information System
25 on October 1 and March 1 of the immediately preceding school
26 year. That value shall be divided by the average of the number

1 of students attending prekindergarten in grades kindergarten
2 through grade 12 reported as enrolled in the charter school's
3 resident district on October 1 and March 1 of the immediately
4 preceding school year. That proportion shall be multiplied by
5 the real equalized assessed valuation as computed under
6 paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of Section 18-8.15 for each
7 State-authorized charter school's applicable resident
8 district. A State-authorized charter school whose resident
9 district is organized under Article 34 of this Code shall have
10 a real equalized assessed valuation equal to the real
11 equalized assessed valuation of its resident district as
12 computed under paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of Section
13 18-8.15. A State-authorized charter school's qualifying rate
14 shall be the same as the rate that applies to the charter
15 school's resident district.
16 To be eligible to receive reimbursement in excess of 4/5
17 of the cost to transport eligible pupils, a school district or
18 partial elementary unit district formed pursuant to Article
19 11E shall have a Transportation Fund tax rate of at least .12%.
20 The Transportation Fund tax rate for a partial elementary unit
21 district formed pursuant Article 11E shall be the combined
22 elementary and high school rates pursuant to paragraph (4) of
23 subsection (a) of Section 18-8.15.
24 If a school district or partial elementary unit district
25 formed pursuant to Article 11E does not have a .12%
26 Transportation Fund tax rate, the amount of its claim in

1 excess of 4/5 of the cost of transporting pupils shall be
2 reduced by the sum arrived at by subtracting the
3 Transportation Fund tax rate from .12% and multiplying that
4 amount by the district's real equalized assessed valuation as
5 computed under paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of Section
6 18-8.15, provided that in no case shall said reduction result
7 in reimbursement of less than 4/5 of the cost to transport
8 eligible pupils. No such adjustment may be applied to a claim
9 filed by a State-authorized charter school.
10 Subject to the calculation of equalized assessed
11 valuation, an adjustment for an insufficient tax rate, and the
12 use of a qualifying rate as provided in this Section, a
13 State-authorized charter school may make a claim for
14 reimbursement by the State that is calculated in the same
15 manner as a school district.
16 The minimum amount to be received by a district is $16
17 times the number of eligible pupils transported.
18 When calculating the reimbursement for transportation
19 costs, the State Board of Education may not deduct the number
20 of pupils enrolled in early education programs from the number
21 of pupils eligible for reimbursement if the pupils enrolled in
22 the early education programs are transported at the same time
23 as other eligible pupils.
24 Any such district transporting resident pupils during the
25 school day to an area vocational school or another school
26 district's vocational program more than 1 1/2 miles from the

3 of transporting eligible pupils.

5 pupil is required to be in attendance for instructional
6 purposes.
7 If a pupil is at a location within the school district
8 other than his residence for child care purposes at the time
9 for transportation to school, that location may be considered
10 for purposes of determining the 1 1/2 miles from the school
11 attended.
12 Claims for reimbursement that include children who attend
13 any school other than a public school shall show the number of
14 such children transported.
15 Claims for reimbursement under this Section shall not be
16 paid for the transportation of pupils for whom transportation
17 costs are claimed for payment under other Sections of this
18 Act.
19 The allowable direct cost of transporting pupils for
20 regular, vocational, and special education pupil
21 transportation shall be limited to the sum of the cost of
