Itasca School District 10

What Itasca School District 10 does

Itasca School District 10 is an Illinois public school district that operates three schools serving approximately 962 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade within the Itasca attendance boundary: Raymond Benson Primary School (PreK-2), Elmer H. Franzen Intermediate School (3-5), and F.E. Peacock Middle School (6-8). It is a government entity, not a commercial enterprise, governed by an elected Board of Education and led by Superintendent Dr. Heidi Weeks. As a public district, core educational services are provided at no direct cost to resident families; the district is funded through local property taxes, Illinois state aid, and federal grants, with minor ancillary revenue from optional transportation and activity fees.

The district delivers a standards-aligned curriculum drawn primarily from named third-party programs: Amplify CKLA and Amplify ELA for literacy (adopted 2022), Bridges in Mathematics for grades K-5 (2019) and Into Math for grades 6-8 (2023), STEMscopes and IQWST for science, TCI for social studies, and Second Step plus a district-developed Wellness Wednesday program for social-emotional learning. Operational technology is a conventional K-12 stack—Edlio for the district website, TeacherEase for online registration and parent gradebook access, Skyward as the student information system, Google Workspace for staff email and translation services, and My Ride K-12 plus BusBulletin for transportation notifications. Special education services are delivered through the North DuPage Special Education Cooperative, and bus transportation is contracted to First Student.

The district's go-to-market is direct enrollment of resident families; its value proposition is anchored in measurable academic outcomes—95th percentile performance in ELA and Math statewide, 93rd percentile in Science, all three schools rated Exemplary or Commendable by the Illinois State Board of Education, and chronic absenteeism roughly half the state average. Ancillary programs include early childhood/preschool for ages 3-5, before/after care, ELL support, athletics, fine arts, and a gifted education pathway. Marketing and family engagement are conducted through school-specific bulletins, the monthly D10 on the 10th newsletter, Parent University webinars, and an active social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, and X.
