A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Libertyville School District 70 regarding the number of non-U.S. citizens currently enrolled in the district on January 13, 2025. The request was made by us at Lake County Gazette, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
In our request, we asked for the specific number of "migrants" (e.g., illegal aliens/non-U.S. citizens) currently enrolled in the school district. We believe that access to public records is crucial for fulfilling our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
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.
We at Lake County Gazette continue to strive for transparency and accountability from our public institutions and will update our readers as soon as we receive a response from Libertyville School District 70 regarding this matter.
