Bill > HB2486

This bill amends the Illinois School Code by modifying the definition of a "separate public special education day school" to exclude schools in school districts that exceed their Adequacy Target under the evidence-based funding formula. Currently, a separate public special education day school is defined as a special education program or facility established exclusively to serve students with disabilities who cannot be educated in a general school environment. The bill adds a new provision that removes schools from this definition if they are located in a school district that has surpassed its Adequacy Target, which is a funding metric calculated under Section 18-8.15 of the School Code. This change could potentially impact how certain special education day schools are classified and potentially funded, though the precise implications are not fully detailed in the bill text. The bill would become effective immediately upon enactment.
