Illinois HB1599 amends funding for alternative school programs, increasing base funding and adjusting distribution based on student enrollment.
Illinois HB1599 amends the School Code to adjust funding for alternative school programs. It increases the base funding for these programs to $100,000 annually if the total state allocation is at least $22,730,000, up from $30,000. The bill also modifies the funding distribution formula to include the number of low-income students in the calculation. Additionally, it ensures that funding for the 1998-1999 fiscal year is at least equal to the previous year's allocation, with supplementary payments if necessary.
