MARSEILLES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT 150

What MARSEILLES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT 150 does

Marseilles Elementary School District 150 (MES) is a public PK-8 elementary school district operating under Illinois state education law and governed by an elected, unpaid seven-member Board of Education. The district serves children from preschool through eighth grade in Marseilles, Illinois (LaSalle County), with supplemental services for families via counseling, transportation, special education, English language learner support, and McKinney-Vento homeless assistance. Operations are led by Superintendent Brenda Donahue, supported by a Principal, Assistant Principal/Athletic Director, Assistant Superintendent of Student Services, Family Resource Specialist, School Nurse, Technology Coordinator, Cafeteria Manager, Transportation Manager, preschool educators, school psychologist, school social worker, and administrative staff — collectively the 24-employee workforce recorded in firmographic data.

The district's core digital infrastructure consists of a Finalsite-powered official website (mes150.org) serving as the information and registration portal, supplemented by Google Workspace for Education (Google Classroom, Google Meet) for instructional delivery, ClassDojo for classroom communication, and TeacherEase for gradebook and registration management. Differentiated learning is supported through third-party platforms including Amplify Science, Zearn, Prodigy, Khan Academy, and Renaissance. MES also runs a K-8 athletic program communicated via the Snap! Mobile MES Athletics App, and maintains a full-time school nurse plus mental health services delivered through partnerships (notably North Central Behavioral Health Systems and the Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley).

MES operates as a government state entity; it does not charge tuition and participates in the USDA Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), providing free breakfast and lunch to all enrolled students. Revenue is sourced from Illinois state aid, local property taxes, and federal program funding (Title, IDEA, McKinney-Vento), and is not publicly disclosed in the materials provided. The facility at 201 Chicago St, Marseilles, was substantially remodeled following the 2013 Illinois River flooding and now includes a state-of-the-art Music room, air-conditioned cafeteria, and updated Pre-K through First Grade classrooms. Compliance posture spans FERPA, COPPA, CIPA, and SOPPA for student data privacy.
