What Milledgeville High School does

Chadwick-Milledgeville Community Unit School District No. 399 is a public K-12 unit school district operating under Illinois state authority and headquartered at 100 E 8th Street, Milledgeville, Illinois. It serves the rural communities of Chadwick and Milledgeville in Carroll County through Milledgeville High School (the Missiles) and Chadwick Junior High School (the Streaks), with an enrolled population of roughly 400-500 students. The district is led by Superintendent Timothy Schurman and governed by an elected Board of Education with Maria Bibler serving as Secretary. Its stated mission is to prepare students to compete in the 21st-century global workforce, and its 'Missile Mission' character program emphasizes five pillars: Resilient, Goal-Oriented, Collaborative, Critical Thinker, and Respectful.

The district's core operational product is a standard public-school academic, athletic, and extracurricular program spanning K-12 instruction, college and career counseling, FFA, theater, band, and interscholastic athletics. The underlying technology stack is a layered EdTech portfolio rather than proprietary software: the website runs on Connect Suite; identity and access are managed through Microsoft Entra ID and Clever single sign-on; instructional delivery is handled via Schoology LMS with IXL adaptive practice, ClassDojo classroom communication, and Microsoft Office productivity tools; parent and student-facing gradebook, lunch-account, and fee-payment workflows run on TeacherEase; notifications are pushed through NotifyMe; and an AI tool branded 'Max' handles IT support. The district also runs a PowerApps-based Pathways App for student career planning and uses Public School Works for staff compliance training, with online tutoring delivered via Paper.

The district's revenue model is non-commercial: it is funded primarily by property taxes levied on parcels within the district boundaries, supplemented by Illinois state aid and federal categorical funds that are not disclosed in the source material. Total property taxes extended for 2024 were $5,204,399.82, with $5,660,714 proposed for 2025 (an 8.77% increase); the corporate and special-purpose levy is proposed to rise 9.93% to $5,005,214. Pricing is not market-based; lunch pricing is administered through TeacherEase. The go-to-market is geographic — students enroll in-person by residency within district boundaries — and the primary customer segments are K-12 students and their parents/guardians. Strategic partnerships include Sauk Valley Community College for dual-enrollment, BSN Sports for fan gear, and Mirror Democrat for community news coverage.
