On January 13, 2025, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Fox Lake Grade School District 114 by the Lake County Gazette. The request pertains to the number of non-U.S. citizens, also referred to as "migrants" or "illegal aliens," currently enrolled in the school district.
The Illinois-based media organization is committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. Access to public records such as these are crucial for the Gazette's role in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
In the request, the Lake County Gazette has also sought a fee waiver citing its role as a media professional involved in gathering and reporting news to the public.
In related information, 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. Furthermore, it was reported that 58% of teachers in Illinois have a master's degree or higher.
As we at Lake County Gazette continue our commitment towards providing comprehensive news coverage on local government affairs, we believe that this information will help us better understand and report on education-related issues within our community.
