On January 13, 2025, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Arlington Heights School District 25 in Illinois by North Cook News. The request sought information regarding the number of non-U.S. citizens currently enrolled in the school district.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at North Cook News believe that access to public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
The request was made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, and we have asked for the information to be provided in an electronic format. We also requested a fee waiver as a media professional involved in gathering and reporting news 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. The average student-to-administrative ratio is 141:1, and the average student-to-teacher ratio is 17:1. It's worth noting that 58% of teachers in Illinois have a master's degree or higher.
We await a response from Arlington Heights School District 25 regarding our FOIA request and will continue to keep our readers informed about developments on this matter.
