On January 13, 2025, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Lake Bluff Elementary School in Illinois by the Lake County Gazette. The request seeks information about the number of non-U.S. citizens, referred to as "migrants" in the query, currently enrolled in the school district.
The request is part of our ongoing commitment at the Lake County Gazette to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. Access to public records such as these are essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
In addition to this specific request, we continue to monitor and report on various aspects of education in Illinois. 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's worth noting that 58% of teachers in Illinois have a master's degree or higher.
As we await a response from Lake Bluff Elementary School regarding our FOIA request, we will continue striving for transparency and accountability within our local educational institutions.
