Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024
a) This Subpart establishes the procedures for reimbursing custodians for qualified transportation expenses as provided in Section 29-5.2 of the School Code.
b) The custodian must complete a claim form, provided by the State Board of Education, no later than June 30 of each year. The claim form will be available at each school attendance center for which the State Board of Education has a mailing address on file.
1) In cases where a qualifying pupil resides
within 11/2 miles of the pupil's school but for whom walking constitutes a
serious hazard to the safety of the pupil due to vehicular traffic, the
custodian must first request a determination of a serious safety hazard from
the Illinois Department of Transportation, except that any custodian who
previously received a determination that a serious safety hazard exists need
not resubmit a request for four years.
2) The custodian's request for a
determination of a serious safety hazard must be completed on a form provided
by the regional superintendent of schools for the county or educational service
center area in which the custodian resides and must be returned to that
regional superintendent by February 1 of the school year for which
reimbursement will be sought, except that custodians resident of the City of
Chicago shall contact the State Board of Education to obtain the form and shall
return it to the State Board's Springfield office by February 1 of the school
year for which reimbursement will be sought.
c) The custodian shall certify on the claim form provided by the State Board of Education that:
1) the custodian is the parent or legal
guardian of the pupils for whom expenses are being claimed;
2) during the school year for which
reimbursement is being claimed, the pupils attended regularly scheduled
day-time classes as full-time students in a kindergarten through grade 12
program at the public or nonpublic school;
3) the pupils:
A) resided 11/2 miles or more from the school
attended and did not have access to transportation to and from school provided
entirely at public expense; or
B)
lived within 11/2 miles from the school attended; the Illinois Department of
Transportation has determined, within the last four years, that walking would
constitute a serious hazard to the safety of the pupils due to vehicular
traffic; the hazardous conditions remain unchanged; and the pupils did not have
access to transportation to and from school provided entirely at public
expense; or
C) lived within 11/2
miles from the school attended, which is a public school in a school district
organized under Article 34 of the School Code, and must walk or otherwise
travel along a safe passage route, as designated by the school board, to reach
school or return home; and
4) the custodian paid the amount claimed to
transport the pupils to and from school during the school year for which the
claim is being submitted.
