A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the St. Anne Community Consolidated School District 256 on January 28, 2025, by us at Kankakee Times. The request pertains to emails and memos from the past year that contain the keywords "Lucy Calkins" and "Units of Study."

As a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we believe access to public records is crucial for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.

We have requested these records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, preferably in an electronic format. Given our role in disseminating information, we have also asked for a fee waiver as a media professional.

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 St. Anne Community Consolidated School District 256 regarding our FOIA request.
