Sec. 10-22.22. Transportation for pupils; tuition;
vocational school pupils-Tuition.
To provide free transportation for pupils, and where in its
judgment the interests of the district and of the pupils
therein will be best subserved by so doing the school board may
permit the pupils in the district or in any particular grade to
attend the schools of other districts and may permit any pupil
to attend an area secondary vocational school operated by a
public school district or a public or non-public vocational
school within the State of Illinois or adjacent states approved
by the Board of Vocational Education, and may provide free
transportation for such pupils and shall pay the tuition of
such pupils in the schools attended; except as otherwise
provided in this Section, such tuition shall be based upon per
capita cost computed in the following manner: The cost of
conducting and maintaining any area secondary vocational
school facility shall be first determined and shall include the

HB5144 - 2 - LRB100 18407 AXK 33620 b
following expenses applicable only to such educational
facility under rules and regulations established by the Board
of Vocational Education and Rehabilitation as follows:
a. Salaries of teachers, vocational counselors, and
supporting professional workers, necessary non-certified
workers, clerks, custodial employees, and any district
taxes specifically for their pension and retirement
benefits.
b. Equipment and supplies necessary for program
operation.
c. Administrative costs.
d. Operation of physical plant, including heat, light,
water, repairs, and maintenance.
e. Auxiliary service, not including any transportation
cost.
From such total cost thus determined there shall be
deducted the State reimbursement due on account of such
educational facility for the same year, not including any State
reimbursement for area secondary vocational school
transportation. Such net cost shall be divided by the average
number of pupils in average daily attendance in such area
secondary vocational school facility for the school year in
order to arrive at the net per capita tuition cost. Such costs
shall be computed on pupils regularly enrolled in an area
secondary vocational school on the basis of one-sixth day for
every class hour attended pursuant to such enrollment.

HB5144 - 3 - LRB100 18407 AXK 33620 b
Provided, that the board subject to the approval of the county
superintendent of schools may determine what schools outside of
their district such pupils shall attend. This Section section
does not require the board of directors or board of education
of any district to admit pupils from another district.
Beginning with the 2018-2019 school year, the tuition to be
paid by a school board under this Section shall be based upon
the vocational school's per capita cost, as computed under this
Section, or the school district's per capita cost, as computed
under Section 10-20.12a of this Code, whichever one is greater.
