On January 13, 2025, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Dolton School District 148 by South Cook News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. The request specifically asked for the number of non-U.S. citizens or "migrants" currently enrolled in the school district.
As part of our mission at South Cook News, we strive to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public through access to public records. This information is crucial in fulfilling our professional responsibilities as a media organization.
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.
We believe that understanding the demographics of our schools, including the enrollment of non-U.S. citizens or "migrants", can shed light on how resources are allocated and how well we are serving all students in our community.
As members of South Cook News, we look forward to sharing this information with the public once it becomes available.
