This bill amends the State School Aid Act of 1979 by updating Section 11 and adding Section 97n. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, the bill appropriates a total of $17,769,551,300 from the state school aid fund, with an increase in general fund allocation from $78,830,600 to $85,530,600. The bill also specifies that any unspent general fund allocations at the end of the fiscal year will be transferred to the school aid stabilization fund.

Additionally, Section 97n allocates $6,700,000 from the general fund for the implementation of a mobile panic alert system in public and nonpublic schools, as mandated by the revised school code. This allocation is designated as a work project appropriation, allowing any unexpended funds to carry over into the next fiscal year, with an estimated completion date for the project set for September 30, 2027. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 76.
