LRB9103543NTsb
1 AN ACT concerning educational opportunity grants.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
5 Educational Opportunity Grant Act.
6 Section 5. Findings and declaration of policy. The
7 General Assembly finds and declares the following:
8 (1) The imposition on families of the compulsory
9 education law imposes important responsibilities on the
10 General Assembly to safeguard the academic choices for
11 parents of children attending elementary and secondary
12 schools in this State. These choices should include the
13 freedom of parents to choose the elementary or secondary
14 school that their children attend.
15 (2) There is a crisis in elementary and secondary
16 education in this State. Many school children are
17 performing significantly below relevant standards; others
18 are dropping out of school before completing the ordinary
19 course of secondary education. Mobility rates or
20 attendance rates at some schools reach levels that create
21 a significant hindrance to effective instruction and
22 results in obstacles to teachers' efforts to teach.
23 Parental satisfaction with the education provided to
24 their children attending these schools is low.
25 (3) Low-income parents of school age children are
26 frequently unable to evaluate the quality of the
27 educational services available and determine in which
28 school to enroll their children. The barriers to
29 information low-income parents face include a lack of
30 accessible and comprehensive information about
31 educational options for their children and a lack of
-2- LRB9103543NTsb
1 proximity to a variety of educational opportunities.
2 Sometimes this inability is due to laws and regulations
3 that limit parents' freedom to schools that they believe
4 can provide their children with a quality education.
5 Low-income parents often also lack the resources to make
6 residential choices that include an evaluation of the
7 quality of the local schools or avail themselves of
8 private school alternatives.
9 (4) Some schools in this State are providing a
10 better elementary and secondary education than others.
11 Those schools have low mobility rates and high attendance
12 rates. Pupils in those schools generally remain in
13 school until they complete the ordinary course of their
14 secondary education and receive effective educational
15 instruction. Pupils in these schools generally meet
16 appropriate performance standards. As a result, pupils
17 in these schools are generally prepared to meet the
18 challenges of post-secondary education or workforce
19 participation. Parental satisfaction with the
20 educational services provided by these schools is high.
21 (5) Businesses cite the caliber of the available
22 workforce and the availability of quality schools to
23 which their employees can send their children as factors
24 in determining where to locate or expand facilities.
25 (6) The ability of parents to chose the schools
26 their children attend carries a positive competitive
27 force on all schools, both public and private.
28 (7) High quality, cost effective, responsive, and
29 innovative education for this State's children is vital
30 to the State's future.
31 (8) The State has the right and duty, in order to
32 promote the future well being of all its citizens,
33 particularly those who are economically and socially
34 disadvantaged, to provide educational opportunity grants
-3- LRB9103543NTsb
1 to low-income parents to help them exercise a choice in
2 the selection of their child's school. Providing the
3 child of these parents with an educational opportunity
4 grant to attend a nonpublic school serves a public
5 benefit, is in the public interest, and serves a secular
6 purpose.
7 Section 10. Definitions. In this Act:

9 Illinois resident who is the parent or legal guardian of the

18 of the total amount of funds to be received in a single
19 school year through acceptance of qualifying pupils whose
20 custodians will pay for qualified education expenses

10 qualifying pupil shall be entitled, subject to Section 25 of
11 this Act, to a grant for payment of qualified education
12 expenses incurred on behalf of a qualifying pupil at any

14 amount of the grant in the case of any qualifying pupil who
15 is being educated pursuant to an individualized education
16 program for children with disabilities in accordance with
17 Article 14 of the School Code shall be increased to take into
18 account the instruction, related services, and transportation
19 costs for educating the pupil.
20 Section 20. Number of grants. The total number of grants
21 available in school years 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 in a

4 program. In no case, however, shall more than 20% of all
5 grants awarded be used by qualifying pupils who were enrolled
6 in a private school prior to and during the school year of
7 application for a grant. With respect to kindergartners, this
8 provision shall be satisfied by enrolling the pupil in a
9 kindergarten during the school year of application for a

17 day of February prior to admission and award of grants to
18 eligible custodians no later than the fifteenth day of April
19 prior to admission. If there are more applications than
20 grants available in a participating school district, the

22 applicants, subject to the following conditions:
23 (1) First preference shall be given to custodians of
24 qualifying pupils who attend public schools in a
25 participating school district that are on the State Board
26 of Education Early Academic Warning List or Academic
27 Watch List under Section 2-3.25d of the School Code.

7 eligible private school only if the child is admitted to the

10 eligible private school if all of the following conditions

17 proportionately reduced in the case of any pupil who is not
18 enrolled in an eligible private school for the entire school

4 excess tuition to be satisfied by the custodian's
5 provision of in-kind contributions or services.
6 Section 50. Funding. The cost of the grant program
7 established by this Act shall be paid from a separate
8 appropriation made by the General Assembly for the purposes
9 of this Act. The State Board of Education shall insure that
10 the State aid payable to all other school districts is
11 neither reduced or increased as a result of the
12 appropriations made for this program, except for all
13 categorical funding for any qualifying pupil who is being
14 educated pursuant to an individualized education program for
15 children with disabilities in accordance with Article 14 of
16 the School Code, including funds for instruction, related

20 In addition, the State Board of Education shall establish
21 procedures for ensuring that no participating school district
22 experiences a decrease in enrollment for purposes of
23 calculating general State aid in any year of this program as
24 a result of participation by qualifying pupils in the

27 the School Code, all pupils previously enrolled in a school
28 operated by a participating school district receiving a grant
29 under this Act shall be included in the pupil attendance
30 figures of the school district in which the pupil resides.
31 Section 55. Sectarian, religious, or parochial school.
32 Grants under this Act are grants-of-aid to children through
-11- LRB9103543NTsb
1 their custodians, not to the eligible private schools in
2 which the children are enrolled. The selection by custodians
3 of an eligible private school shall not constitute a decision
4 or act of the State or any of its subdivisions. A
5 custodian's use of grant funds for the payment of qualified
6 education expenses to an eligible private school which is a
7 sectarian, religious, or parochial school under this Act
8 shall not constitute aid to any church, sect, religious
9 denomination, or sectarian institution. A qualifying pupil
10 who is enrolled at an eligible private school that is a
11 sectarian, religious, or parochial school and receives grant
12 funds paid by the pupil's custodian shall be permitted to opt
13 out of any mandatory religious education courses upon written
14 request of the pupil's custodian.
15 Section 60. Not gross income. The amount of any grant
16 redeemed under this Act shall not be considered gross income
17 and shall not be taxable for Illinois income tax purposes.
18 Section 65. Penalties. It shall be a Class 3 felony to
19 use or attempt to use a grant for any purpose other than
20 those permitted by this Act. It shall be a Class 3 felony
21 to, with intent to defraud, knowingly forge, alter, or
22 misrepresent information on a grant or any documents
23 submitted in application for a grant, to issue or deliver any
24 such document knowing it to have been thus forged, altered,
25 or based on misrepresentation, or to possess, with intent to
26 issue or deliver, any such document knowing it to have been
27 forged, altered, or based on misrepresentation.
28 Section 70. Office of Educational Opportunity Grant
29 Administration.
30 (a) There shall be established in the State Board of
31 Education an Office of Educational Opportunity Grant
-12- LRB9103543NTsb
1 Administration. The Governor shall appoint the Director of
2 the Office of Grant Administration and the Director shall
3 report directly to the Governor. The Office of Grant
4 Administration shall perform the duties imposed on it by this
5 Act, including without limitation dissemination of
6 information regarding the grant program, identification of
7 eligible private schools, administration of the lottery,
8 transportation coordination, issuance and payment of grants,
9 and being a clearinghouse for research regarding the academic
10 performance of qualifying pupils who receive grants and the
11 overall effectiveness of the program. The General Assembly
12 shall appropriate sufficient funds for all of the
13 responsibilities outlined in this Act for the Office of Grant
14 Administration.
15 (b) The Office of Grant Administration shall convene a
16 Council of Advisors of not more than 10 individuals with
17 academic credentials or applicable professional experience
18 appropriate to discharge the responsibilities of the Council
19 of Advisors outlined in this subsection (b). If the amount
20 needed to fund grants for all qualifying pupils exceeds the
21 amount appropriated in any year, the Council of Advisors
22 shall determine an equitable way to allocate the appropriated
23 amount among the qualifying pupils consistent with the stated
24 purpose and policy of this Act. The Council of Advisors
25 shall arrange, by a competitive process, to have conducted an
26 independent evaluation of the effectiveness of this program.
27 A comprehensive review and evaluation shall be completed and
28 submitted to the Council of Advisors and the Office of Grant
29 Administration after the end of the 2001-2002 school year and
30 shall be updated and resubmitted annually thereafter.
31 Section 75. Rules. The Office of Grant Administration
32 shall promulgate any rules necessary to implement this Act.
33 The Office of Grant Administration shall promulgate rules
-13- LRB9103543NTsb
1 only to the extent necessary to facilitate the operation of
2 this program and shall not use this Act to impose further
3 substantive educational requirements on any school. However,
4 rules may be promulgated to safeguard against eligible
5 private schools increasing qualified educational expenses for
6 the sole purpose of gaining access to increased grant
7 amounts.
8 Section 905. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by
9 changing Section 203 as follows:

6 extent consisting of capital gain) for all property
7 in respect of which such gain was reported for
8 federal income tax purposes for the taxable year, or
9 (ii) the net capital gain for the taxable year,

28 1969 appreciation amount for such property is that
29 amount which bears the same ratio to the total gain

14 purposes for the taxable year, or in the amount of such items
15 entering into the computation of base income and net income
16 under this Act for such taxable year, whether in respect of
17 property values as of August 1, 1969 or otherwise.
