HB 2741

Abstract

Amends the School Code. Makes changes with regard to the limitation of administrative costs. Defines "consumer price index", "expenditures per pupil", "general administration expenditures", and "school administration expenditures". Provides that for the 2020-2021 school year and each school year thereafter, each school district shall undertake budgetary and expenditure control actions so that the increase in each of the budgeted administrative expenditures per pupil (with the exception of the Chicago school district, whose limit is not changed), budgeted general administration expenditures per pupil, and budgeted school administration expenditures per pupil for that school year over the expenditures per pupil for the prior school year does not exceed the percentage increase, if any, in the consumer price index for the 12 months ending on the December 31 prior to the budgetary year or 5%, whichever one is less. Makes conforming changes and other changes.
