Pleasantdale School District

What Pleasantdale School District does

Pleasantdale School District 107 is a public K-8 school district serving students in preschool through 8th grade in the Burr Ridge and La Grange area of Illinois, governed by an elected seven-member Board of Education. The district operates two campuses — Pleasantdale Elementary School (K-4, La Grange) and Pleasantdale Middle School (5-8, Burr Ridge) — and is one of the constituent feeders for Lyons Township High School District 204. Its product surface is the public K-8 curriculum: inclusive preschool, core academics, specials (Art, Music, PE, STEM, Spanish), athletics, MTSS, special education (co-teaching, resource, related services via LADSE/CASE), and an Accelerated Placement program.

The district's technology stack is standard K-12 SaaS: Skyward Qmlativ (SIS, transitioned July 2025), Schoology (LMS, middle school), Seesaw (elementary learning platform), Clever (SSO), ParentSquare (parent communication and CMS), and RevTrak (fee/payment processing). Operational services are outsourced to First Student (free K-8 transportation), Quest Food Management Services (NSLP meals, $3.65/meal), LADSE and CASE cooperatives (special education), and TruGreen (grounds). Compliance scope is broad: FERPA, SOPPA, COPPA, CIPA, IDEA, ISBE standards, Illinois Accelerated Placement Act, and WCAG 2.0-2.1 AA.

Revenue is structurally that of an Illinois public school district: local property taxes as the primary source, supplemented by ISBE state aid, federal ESSER III grants, and modest tuition/fees (preschool $4,536/yr, Summer Academy $160/session, NSLP meals, registration and optional fees). Marketing and enrollment are driven by ParentSquare, the district website (d107.org), the Voices of Pleasantdale video series, PTO, and the Reimagine D107 community planning initiative. The district holds a National Blue Ribbon (Pleasantdale Middle School, U.S. Department of Education) and an IASB Governance Recognition Award.
