Sec. 3-15.17. Civic education advancement.(a) The General Assembly finds that civic education and participation are fundamental elements of a healthy democracy, and schools are in need of support to identify civic learning opportunities and to implement new strategies to prepare and sustain high quality citizenship among their student body.(b) Subject to appropriation, funding for civic education professional development for high school teachers must be provided by line item appropriation made to the State Board of Education for that purpose.  When appropriated, the State Board of Education must provide this funding to each regional superintendent of schools based on high school enrollment as reported on the State Board of Education's most recent fall enrollment and housing report, except that 20% of each annual appropriation must be reserved for a school district organized under Article 34 of this Code.(c) In order to establish eligibility for one or more of its schools to receive funding under this Section, a school district shall submit to its regional superintendent of schools an application, accompanied by a completed civic audit, for each school.  A regional superintendent shall award funds to a district based on the number of teachers identified by the district to receive professional development multiplied by $250.  A district must not be awarded more than $3,000 in any year, unless additional funds remain available after all eligible applicants have received funding.  A district may not use funds authorized under this Section in any school more than once every 2 years.  Funds provided under this Section must be used exclusively for professional development provided by entities that are approved providers for purposes of license renewal under Section 21B-45 of this Code.(d) The civic audit form and its content  must be designed and updated as deemed necessary by the Illinois Civic Mission Coalition.  Data from completed civic audits must be processed by the Illinois Civic Mission Coalition.  The civic audit must be made available by the Illinois Civic Mission Coalition and must be designed to provide teachers and principals with a blueprint to better understand how current curriculum, service learning, and extracurricular activities are providing civic learning experiences for their students.

(105 ILCS 5/3-16)Sec. 3-16. Grants to alternative schools, safe schools, and alternative learning opportunities programs. The State Board of Education, subject to appropriation, shall award grants to alternative schools, safe schools, and alternative learning opportunities programs operated by a regional office of education. For fiscal year 2018, to calculate grant amounts to the programs operated by regional offices of education, the State Board shall calculate an amount equal to the greater of the regional program's best 3 months of average daily attendance for the 2016-2017 school year or the average of the best 3 months of average daily attendance for the 2014-2015 school year through the 2016-2017 school year, multiplied by the amount of $6,119. For fiscal year 2019, to calculate grant  amounts to the programs operated by regional offices of  education, the State Board shall calculate an amount equal to  the greater of the regional program's best 3 months of average  daily attendance for the 2017-2018 school year or the average of the best 3 months of average daily attendance for the  2015-2016 school year through the 2017-2018 school year,  multiplied by the amount of $6,119. These amounts shall be termed the "Regional Program Increased Enrollment Recognition". If the amount of the Regional Program Increased Enrollment Recognition is greater than the amount of the regional office of education program's Base Funding Minimum for fiscal year 2018 or fiscal year 2019, calculated under Section 18-8.15, then the State Board of Education shall pay the regional program a grant equal to the difference between the regional program's Regional Program Increased Enrollment Recognition and the Base Funding Minimum for fiscal year 2018 or fiscal year 2019, respectively. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to alter any payments or calculations under Section 18-8.15.  (Source: P.A. 100-587, eff. 6-4-18; 101-10, eff. 6-5-19.)
