Heyworth Elementary School

What Heyworth Elementary School does

Heyworth Community Unit School District 4 (operating as Heyworth CUSD 4) is a public K-12 school district located in Heyworth, Illinois (McLean County, Central Illinois). It serves district-resident students across three schools: Heyworth Elementary School (K-6, plus preschool), Heyworth Junior High School (7-8), and Heyworth Senior High School (9-12), with a combined staff of 118+ teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, and support personnel. The district is governed by an elected Board of Education and led by Superintendent Dr. Lisa Taylor, with elementary principal Justin Steve and junior/senior high principal April Hicklin.

The district's core offering is compulsory public education, supplemented by fee-based ancillary programs including before/after school care (morning care $10/day, after care $15/day, all-day care $45/day), a summer care program running late May through mid-August ($45/day), and food service (breakfast $2.60, reduced $0.30). The district operates facilities including the new Hornet Stadium (2025), Hornet Gymnasium, and a community fitness center (both 2019). Technology infrastructure is built on commodity K-12 SaaS: Edlio for the district website and CMS, Skyward for the student information system, Clever for SSO, Google Classroom for learning management at the secondary level, RevTrak for fee payment collection, Parchment for transcripts, Thrillshare for parent communications, and SNAP for athletics management.

The business model is that of a government unit school district: primary funding flows from local property taxes, Illinois state education funding, and federal grants, with no tuition charged to district-resident families. Ancillary fee-based services generate marginal incremental revenue. Enrollment is open by geographic boundary to in-district families, with online registration via Skyward and in-person registration by appointment. Compliance obligations include Title IX, Title VI, ADA, and Section 504, coordinated by designated district administrators. The district's strategic posture reflects ongoing capital reinvestment in facilities and incremental digitization of operations rather than programmatic transformation.
