Oak Grove School District 68

What Oak Grove School District 68 does

Oak Grove School District 68 is a public K-8 school district operating a single campus at 1700 O'Plaine Road in Green Oaks, Illinois, in central Lake County. The district is a state-chartered government entity governed by a seven-member elected Board of Education (President Raabia Khan, Vice President Emily Savino) and led by Superintendent Dr. Bryan Zwemke, Principal Ryan Murray, Assistant Principal Karen Graham, and Dean of Students Patricia Tazzioli. It serves more than 900 K-8 students residing within district boundaries, providing free public education including core academics, STEM, Talented & Gifted programming, English Language Learner support, Special Education, athletics, fine arts, and a structured Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum. The district has been recognized with the U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon Schools Award in both 2016 and 2024, indicating sustained academic performance at the national level.

The district's technology backbone is built on a standard K-12 EdTech stack: PowerSchool for student information, Clever for single sign-on, Skyward for transportation and operations, Google Workspace for Education, Bright Arrow for family messaging, Smore for newsletter publishing (Eagle Weekly), BoardBook for board governance, and RevTrak for online payments. Instructional delivery is supported by Savvas, McGraw Hill, Discovery Education, IXL, Dreambox Math, Beast Academy, Seesaw, Read Naturally, Learning Ally, and WeVideo; MagicSchool AI has been added as a teacher productivity tool for lesson planning and instructional content generation. Bus transportation is outsourced to Durham School Services, and the district publishes its Board Policy Manual through BoardPolicyOnline.

Commercially, Oak Grove 68 is not a revenue-generating enterprise. It is funded through local property taxes, Illinois Evidence-Based per-pupil funding, and federal categorical grants, with transparent budgeting overseen by the Board of Education. The go-to-market is purely geographic — enrollment is open to families residing within district boundaries — and outreach is community-led through the school website, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), the Eagle Weekly newsletter, an active PTO, and the OGS Education Foundation. There are no private equity, venture, or founder ownership interests, no subsidiaries, and no M&A or expansion history; the entity is a single-campus operating government unit.

• Stride Learning (formerly K12 Inc): Large publicly traded provider of online and blended K-12 education. Operates in the same K-12 public education space but at national scale and through a virtual/blended delivery model rather than a single physical campus, placing it as a broad incumbent rather than a direct peer.
