What Community Consolidated School District 146 does

Community Consolidated School District 146 is a public K-8 school district headquartered at the Robert Procunier Administration Center in Tinley Park, Illinois, serving portions of Tinley Park and Oak Forest in southwest Cook County. The district operates five schools — Central Middle School (grades 6-8), Fulton School, Memorial School, Fierke Education Center, and Kruse Education Center — providing educational services to approximately 2,000-3,000 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, supplemented by a Birth to Five Program (Bridges Birth-3 and Pre-Kindergarten ages 3-5) funded by Illinois State Board of Education grants. The district is governed by a seven-member elected Board of Education and administered by Superintendent Dr. Jeff Stawick and Assistant Superintendent Kelly Voliva.

The district's technology stack is built on standard K-12 administrative platforms: PowerSchool for student information management, Skyward for financial systems, AESOP for substitute teacher management, Easy IEP for special education documentation, and ParentSquare as the primary family communication platform, with Microsoft 365 for staff email. Compliance frameworks include FERPA, the Illinois Student Records Act, CIPA, SOPPA, and Section 504/Title II accessibility requirements. Curriculum emphasizes standards-based grading, NWEA MAP assessments for grades 1-8, and the Panorama social-emotional screener administered three times annually, with social-emotional learning delivered through the Second Step curriculum.

As a government entity, the district is funded through property taxes levied on residents within its boundaries, Illinois State Board of Education general state aid and categorical grants, and federal grants including Title I and IDEA. Supplemental revenue streams include student registration fees ($100-$145 per student depending on grade level and payment date), food service payments processed through the PushCoin platform under a Whitsons Nutrition contract, and facility use fees. Vendor relationships include three-year contracts with First Student and Sunrise for transportation services, Cherry Bekaert for auditing, and an intergovernmental agreement with Tinley Park Park District for shared community resources.
