(a) Beginning with the 2019-2020 academic year, ICCB shall permit transitional mathematics instruction that has been approved for statewide portability in accordance with the requirements of this Act to be funded, subject to appropriation, in a manner consistent with reimbursement rates for developmental education courses offered at a community college. Such funding must be used by a community college for costs associated with transitional mathematics or English partnerships with school districts.
     (b) Subject to the availability of public or private resources, ISBE, ICCB, and IBHE, in collaboration with IMACC, shall support collaborative efforts among school districts and postsecondary institutions to develop model transitional mathematics instructional units. All State-supported models shall include real-world application projects that can be delivered to particular students based on career interests and shall enable transitional mathematics instructional resources to be included within integrated courses or competency-based learning systems.
