On January 13, 2025, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Brookfield-LaGrange Park School District 95 in Illinois. The request was made by West Cook News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request sought information regarding the number of non-U.S. citizens, referred to as "migrants" in the request, currently enrolled in the school district. As a part of their mission to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public, West Cook News emphasized their role as a member of the media and requested that any associated fees be waived.
In related news, according to the Illinois Report Card, the average state teacher salary in 2023 was $73,916, while the state average administrative salary was $116,908. The report also indicated that there is an average student-to-administrative ratio of 141:1 and an average student-to-teacher ratio of 17:1 across Illinois. Additionally, it was noted that 58% of teachers in Illinois have a master's degree or higher.
