Ill. Admin. Code tit. 23, § 65.160 - Allocation of Funds
a) The State
Superintendent of Education shall approve initial applications for competitive
funding and make final determinations regarding the amounts to be provided
based upon the total funds appropriated for this initiative, the amounts
necessary to fund the top-ranked proposals, and the need to distribute the
benefits of innovative induction models on a statewide basis. The State
Board of Education shall prioritize funding based on the needs of students and
school districts as it relates to teacher retention. (Section 21A-15
of the School Code)
b) It is the
intention of the State Board of Education to approve continuation funding for
projects under this Part prior to providing funding for new applicants. Funding
for existing grantees for each year shall be contingent upon the availability
of funds for the program and evidence presented in renewal proposals that the
projects have been implemented in accordance with the approved grant agreements
and that the recipients continue to need additional State resources in order to
implement their programs. If funds remain available for new programs, an RFP
shall be issued as provided in Section
65.140.
c) In accordance with Section 21A-25 of the
School Code, in years when sufficient funding is available for a statewide
implementation of the new teacher induction grant program, the State Board of
Education shall pay the eligible entity for the duration of the grant for the
purpose of providing the following:
1) Mentor
teacher compensation and new teacher compensation.
2) Mentor teacher professional learning or
new teacher learning or both.
d)
If the appropriation is not
included in the State budget, the State Board of Education is not required to
implement programs established by Article 21A of the School Code or
this Part. (Section 21A-25(b) of the School Code)
