On January 13, 2025, we at South Cook News submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Evergreen Park Community High School District 231 in Illinois. The request seeks information regarding the number of non-U.S. citizens, referred to as "migrants" in the request, currently enrolled in the school district.

South Cook News is a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. As part of our commitment to transparency and public accountability, we often rely on public records obtained through FOIA requests.

The requested information will help us understand the demographics of students in the school district and potentially shed light on any challenges or opportunities associated with this population. It's important for us to share this information with our readers so they can better understand their community.

In addition to our request for enrollment numbers, we have also asked for a fee waiver given our role as a media organization disseminating information 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.
