Medinah School District 11

What Medinah School District 11 does

Medinah School District 11 is a public K-8 elementary school district in DuPage County, Illinois, serving approximately 625 students across three school buildings: Medinah Primary School (PK-2), Medinah Intermediate School (3-5), and Medinah Middle School (6-8). The district's enrollment area encompasses portions of Roselle, Itasca, and Medinah, located approximately 25 miles northwest of Chicago. The district is governed by an elected seven-member Board of Education (Jim Mallory, President; Elizabeth Riter, Vice-President; Santa DeAngelo, Secretary; with members Kathryn Golaszewski, Amy Johnson, Ian Neitzke, and Marialisa Ketcham) with Dr. Susan Redell serving as Superintendent. Unlike a commercial enterprise, Medinah is a government state entity operating under Illinois school law, with students graduating to Lake Park High School District 108 upon completion of eighth grade.

The district's operational technology stack is built on standard K-12 SaaS infrastructure, primarily delivered through EMS LINQ, Inc. Core platforms include the eSchoolView content management system for the district website, ALMA for student registration and parent/student portals (grades, absences, assignments), PowerSchool as the underlying student information system, MySchoolBucks for fee and payment processing, MySchoolQuest/MyMealOrder for meal ordering, Destiny/Follett for library management, Constant Contact for email newsletters, and Instant Connect for rapid emergency communications. The district does not offer proprietary technology products, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities, and operates on a maintenance and continuity posture rather than an expansion posture.

Medinah's revenue model is characteristic of a public K-8 district, with primary funding from local property tax levies (Certificate of Tax Levy filed annually) supplemented by federal ESSER III recovery funds and minor student fees (athletics fees of $50-$75 per season, translator fees at $15/hour for Spanish/Polish/Ukrainian, weekly meal purchases). No tuition is charged to resident students, and free/reduced-price meal programs are available under federal eligibility. The district's Strategic Plan 2024-2030 organizes operations around five priorities — Student Achievement, Family and Community Engagement, District Workforce, Operational Excellence, and Fiscal Responsibility — reflecting a maintenance-oriented rather than growth-oriented institutional posture.
