A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Barrington Community Unit School District 220 in Illinois on January 13, 2025. The request was made by us at the Lake County Gazette, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.

The FOIA request sought information about the number of non-U.S. citizens, referred to as "migrants" in the request, currently enrolled in the school district. As part of our commitment to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, we believe that access to such records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities.

According to the Illinois Report Card, the average state teacher salary in 2023 was $73,916, and the state average Administrative Salary was $116,908. The average student-to-administrative ratio is 141:1, and the average student-to-teacher ratio is 17:1. Interestingly, 58% of teachers in Illinois have a master's degree or higher.

As members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we requested a fee waiver for this information under our status as media professionals. We await a response from Barrington Community Unit School District 220 regarding this matter.

We at Lake County Gazette remain committed to delivering factual and timely information about local government affairs to our readership. We will continue seeking transparency from public institutions on behalf of our community.
