Illinois Administrative Code › Title 23 - EDUCATION AND CULTURAL RESOURCES › Part 252 - DRIVER EDUCATION › Section 252.30 - The Terms of Reimbursement for Public School Participation in the Course

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Claims for
			 Reimbursement - These
shall be made under oath or affirmation of the
			 chief school administrator for the district employed by the school
			 board
or authorized driver education personnel employed by the
			 school board
[
			 105 ILCS 5/27-24.6].
1) Reimbursement shall be determined in
			 accordance with the provisions of Sections 27-24.4 and 27-24.5 of the School
			 Code.
2)
The school
			 district that is the residence of an eligible pupil who attends a nonpublic
			 school in another district that has furnished the driver education course shall
			 reimburse the district offering the course the difference between the actual
			 per capita cost of giving the course the previous school year and the amount
			 reimbursed by the State
(Section 27-24.4 of the School Code), subject
			 to the limitations regarding the reimbursement amount that are set forth in
			 Section 27-24.2 of the School Code. This arrangement shall also apply in the
			 case of tuition students who receive driver education from the districts where
			 they are enrolled rather than from their respective districts of
			 residence.
3) The district may
			 charge a reasonable fee not to exceed the amount specified in Section 27-24.2
			 of the School Code to students who participate in a driver education course
			 approved in accordance with this Part. No other fee or portion thereof shall be
			 charged to students and attributed to the driver education course. As used in
			 this Part, "reasonable fee" means a fee calculated by dividing the sum of
			 documented annual district costs for items such as instructional materials (if
			 not included in the district's textbook rental fee), the cost of driver
			 education cars, car maintenance costs, fuel, and insurance by the number of
			 students enrolled or participating in the driver education course. The
			 district's costs used in this calculation shall not include any portion of the
			 salaries or benefits of school district personnel. For purposes of this
			 calculation, the cost of driver education cars that are purchased by the
			 district shall be amortized over a five-year period, and the cost of leasing
			 cars shall be included in the fee calculation in the year the costs are
			 incurred.
4) The driver education
			 fee shall be waived with respect to any student who applies pursuant to this
			 subsection and who is eligible for free lunches or breakfasts pursuant to the
			 School Breakfast and Lunch Program Act [ 105 ILCS 125 ] and 23 Ill. Adm. Code
			 305 (School Food Service), and with respect to other students in accordance
			 with the district's policy adopted in accordance with 23 Ill. Adm. Code
			 1.245
			 (Waiver of School Fees).

			 standing that has been issued by the state in which he or she resides. For the

			 shall not be considered valid and in good standing if it is revoked, suspended,
			 expired or cancelled as described in Sections 6-201 through 6-209 of the
			 Illinois Driver Licensing Law [ 625 ILCS 5 ] or if restrictions have been
			 placed on driving privileges through either a restricted driving permit under
			 Section 6-205(c)(1) or a monitoring device driving permit under Section
			 6-206.1.
4) Additional
			 requirements will not be retroactive as pertaining to those qualified under
			 standards applicable prior to September 1, 1962, so long as they continue to
			 teach driver education in the same district, except in the event the method of
			 instruction has been changed to include simulation and/or multiple-car
			 laboratory instruction. (See 23 Ill. Adm. Code
			 1.730(q).)
			 The prescribed additional requirements effective July 1, 1969, must be
			 met.

			 department chairman or a person designated to supervise the driver education
			 program, this person must be qualified as described in this Section.
