An IHOPE program approved by the State Board of Education shall be eligible to receive general State aid for those students who are participating in a high school completion program that is meeting the requirements of Section 27-22 of the School Code for receipt of a high school diploma [105 ILCS 5/2-3.66b(b)] from their respective school districts and meets the requirements for claiming State aid specified in Section 18-8.05 of the School Code and criteria specified in Section 210.60 of this Part.

a) A regional office of education that operates an eligible IHOPE program is entitled to submit a claim directly to the State Board of Education for general State aid at the foundation level of support. The regional office shall maintain a record-keeping system that tracks the attendance of IHOPE students and the provision of supplemental services, as applicable, and make such records available to the State Superintendent or designee upon request.
