Northbrook/Glenview School District 30 reported six suspensions during the 2023-24 school year, according to the Illinois Report Card.

In total, there were six disciplinary actions recorded during the school year, representing a rate of approximately 0.5 incidents per 100 of the district’s enrolled students.

Among in-school suspensions where a reason was specified, the most common cause was incidents involving violence that caused physical injury, with two recorded cases. Additionally, four cases were classified under "other reason" or left unspecified.

There were five disciplinary incidents involving male students. Another one incident involved a female student—a rate of approximately 0.2 incidents per 100 female students.

All six suspensions issued in the district involved elementary or middle school students.

Asian and white students were tied for the highest number of suspensions in Northbrook/Glenview School District 30, each with two suspensions during the 2023-24 school year.

Illinois has approved a 2025 budget that allocates $8.6 billion to K-12 education, a $350 million increase from the previous fiscal year—the minimum required under the state funding formula.

In 2024, Illinois registered a teacher retention rate of almost 90%. Yet, around 91% of superintendents reported having a 'serious' problem teacher shortage problem. In total, almost 4,100 teaching positions remained vacant by the end of the year.

“They’re putting a substitute in there, that’s somebody with a four-year degree that’s not in teaching. They’re using a retired teacher…or worse than that, they’re canceling the class, putting the kids in other classrooms, putting them in study hall, but those are strategies we have to use if there’s no qualified teacher,” said Beth Crider, regional superintendent of Peoria County Regional Office of Education #48.
