with respect to allowable costs.
- Establishing uniform definitions and criteria for accounting
separately for the costs of special education and related
services and room and board.
- Establishing guidelines for the coordination of services
and financial assistance provided by all State agencies
to assure that no otherwise qualified child with a disability,
eligible for services under Article 14 of the School Code,
shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits
of, or subjected to discrimination under any program or
activity provided by any State agency.
The membership of the Board consists of the following persons,

and Family Services; Department of Human Services, Office
of Rehabilitation Services; Department of Human Services,
Office of Developmental Disabilities; Department of Public
Health; Department of Public Aid; and Bureau of the Budget;

special meeting.
The Illinois State Board of Education provides administrative
and staff support for the Board. These staff apply the rate-setting
rules of the Purchased Care Review Board in the determination
of allowable costs for approximately 330 nonpublic education
