On January 13, 2025, we at South Cook News submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Cook County School District 130 in Illinois. The request seeks to ascertain the current number of "migrants" or non-U.S. citizens 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 frequently utilize tools like the FOIA to access public records essential for our reporting.
The specific information requested pertains to the enrollment numbers of non-U.S. citizens within the school district. This data will contribute significantly towards our ongoing coverage of local education trends and demographics.
In addition to this, it's worth noting some key statistics about education in Illinois. According to the Illinois Report Card, the average state teacher salary in 2023 was $73,916, while the state average administrative salary stood at $116,908. The average student-to-administrative ratio is 141:1, and the average student-to-teacher ratio is 17:1. Furthermore, an impressive 58% of teachers in Illinois hold a master's degree or higher.
We at South Cook News believe that these figures underscore the importance of understanding who exactly makes up our student populations – hence our request for information on non-U.S. citizen enrollment numbers.
As always, we remain committed to bringing you thorough and accurate news about your local government institutions.
