Regional Office of Education 30

What Regional Office of Education 30 does

Regional Office of Education 30 (ROE #30) is a government educational administrative entity operating under the Illinois State Board of Education system. It serves public school districts, special education cooperatives, educators, and at-risk students across five Southern Illinois counties (Alexander, Jackson, Perry, Pulaski, Union), including named districts such as Cairo Unit District 1, Carbondale Elementary District 95, Murphysboro CUSD 186, Trico CUD 176, Du Quoin CUSD 300, and Shawnee CUD 84, as well as JAMP and Tri-County Special Education cooperatives. The organization is led by Regional Superintendent Matthew Hickam and Assistant Regional Superintendent Julie Bullard, supported by approximately 30 staff across administrative and program roles.

ROE #30 delivers a portfolio of educational and administrative services rather than a single product. Core services include GED testing and transcripts, fingerprinting, teacher licensure support, bus driver training, substitute teacher coordination, professional development (including an annual institute), compliance oversight, health/life safety inspections, home schooling support, work permits, truancy intervention, and McKinney-Vento homeless education services. The organization also operates COPE/SOAR alternative education programs at four program sites (Murphysboro, Carbondale, Ullin, Du Quoin) for at-risk and dropout-recovery students, and administers vocational and career-technical education programs through a regional delivery system. Distribution occurs through three administrative offices (Murphysboro HQ, Anna, Pinckneyville) and the four alternative school sites, with a website (roe30.org) and basic iOS/Android apps serving as the primary digital channels.

The business model is government funding: ROE #30 is funded through Illinois state government allocations and local school district contributions for services provided, with certain transactional services (GED testing, fingerprinting, professional development events) likely carrying associated fees. Customer segments are exclusively government and quasi-government entities (public school districts, special education cooperatives, and public student populations). As a government administrative body, there is no private ownership, venture capital, or equity involvement, and control is exercised through regional board oversight and state educational authorities.
