HB1509 Summary

• Amends the State aid formula in the School Code by modifying how Average Daily Attendance (ADA) is compiled for state funding purposes.

• Requires that any grade 12 student who graduates before the end of the school year must be counted in the school district's attendance figures for the entire school year, even though they are no longer in actual attendance after graduation.

• This provision ensures school districts receive full state aid funding based on all enrolled seniors, regardless of early graduation timing.

• Effective July 1, 2011.
