Skokie School District 69

What Skokie School District 69 does

Skokie-Morton Grove School District 69 is a public elementary school district (government state entity) serving students from Pre-K through 8th grade across the Skokie and Morton Grove communities in Illinois. The district operates four instructional sites: District 69 Pre-K (a Gold Circle of Quality program), Madison Elementary School (K-2, located in Skokie), Edison Elementary School (3-5, located in Morton Grove), and Lincoln Junior High School (6-8, located in Skokie in a newly opened facility). It serves a highly diverse student population with over 70 home languages represented and approximately 25% of students receiving English Language support; the top three languages are Assyrian/Arabic (29.3%), Urdu (19.5%), and Spanish (17%).

The district's technology infrastructure is built on conventional K-12 platforms rather than proprietary systems: Infinite Campus serves as the student information system and parent portal for attendance, grades, and fee payment; ParentSquare functions as the primary multilingual communication platform supporting district-wide messaging in families' preferred languages; Schoology operates as the learning management system; and Google Workspace supports staff productivity. Supplemental EdTech integrations include NWEA MAP and FastBridge for assessment, Follett Destiny for library management, Frontline (AESOP) for substitute teacher assignment, Perform (TalentEd) for talent management, and educational content platforms (BrainPop, Flocabulary, Learning A-Z). The district maintains full regulatory compliance posture under FERPA, COPPA, CIPA, SOPPA, and Section 504/WCAG 2.0 AA, with vendor data privacy agreements managed through the Student Data Privacy Consortium.

Revenue is generated through local property taxes (the primary funding stream), state aid from the Illinois State Board of Education, federal grants including Title I and the Full-Service Community Schools Program, and ancillary fees (registration, transportation, after-school clubs at $35/session). The Community Schools model, implemented in 2013, functions as a hub strategy providing wraparound services (health, nutrition, before/after school care, family engagement) through a network of over 60 partner organizations contributing approximately $1,000,000 annually in in-kind donations. Supplemental revenue includes the Community Eligibility Provision providing free meals to all students, partnerships with corporate sponsors (Discover Financial Services, Walgreens), and approximately $580,000 in annual external financial support from individuals, families, foundations, corporations, and government entities. Distribution is entirely through physical school enrollment within the district's defined geographic boundaries, with supplemental service delivery via the Skokie Park District SPACE childcare program and North Shore Transit for student transportation.
