FOIA Request Sent to Lyons School District 103 Regarding Enrollment Numbers of Non-U.S. Citizens on January 13, 2025

On January 13, 2025, we at West Cook News sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Lyons School District 103 in Illinois. The purpose of the request was to gather data on the number of non-U.S. citizens currently enrolled in the school district.

In our role as a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we believe it is crucial to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public. We sought this information under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, and requested that it be provided in an electronic format for ease of access and dissemination.

Our query specifically asked for data regarding how many "migrants" (e.g., illegal aliens/non-U.S. citizens) are currently enrolled in Lyons School District 103. This information is vital for understanding the demographics of our local schools and assessing their needs.

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, about 58% of teachers in Illinois have a master's degree or higher.

We hope that this information will contribute to a broader understanding of our local education system's dynamics and help identify areas where additional resources may be needed. As always, we remain committed to delivering factual news coverage that informs our readers and promotes transparency within our community.
