Township High School District 211

What Township High School District 211 does

Township High School District 211 is a public secondary school district organized under the Illinois School Code and governed by an elected seven-member Board of Education. It is the largest high school district in Illinois, operating five comprehensive high schools (James B. Conant, William Fremd, Hoffman Estates, Palatine, and Schaumburg) and two alternative high schools (District 211 North Campus and Higgins Education Center). The district serves nearly 12,000 students across approximately eight communities in Chicago's northwest suburbs, including Hoffman Estates, Inverness, Palatine, Schaumburg, and parts of Arlington Heights, Elk Grove Village, Hanover Park, Rolling Meadows, Roselle, South Barrington, and Streamwood. Ancillary services include special education (serving approximately 175 students at alternative campuses), adult continuing education, summer school, food and nutrition (over 5,500 meals daily), transportation (nearly 9,000 students daily via roughly 200 buses and vans), facilities operations (2.3 million square feet of floor space, 220 acres of grounds, 10,000 work orders and approximately $10 million in annual construction projects), and athletics and activities spanning 17 IHSA sports and over 60 student organizations.

The district's technology stack is built around a One-to-One iPad program, Google Workspace for Education, the Infinite Campus student information system, and the Schoology learning management system, supplemented by purpose-built integrations including MaiaLearning for college and career readiness, Tyler Technologies Traversa for transportation routing, Blackboard for mass communications, BoardDocs for board policy management, MySchoolBucks for meal payments, BitSight for cybersecurity posture monitoring, Findhelp.org and United Way for social services referrals, and Strive Scan for event registration. An internal AI Skills Framework was deployed to measure and improve educator technology proficiency, with AI-aware staff improving from 43% to 11% unaware following professional development summits, an initiative recognized by the Center for Digital Education and NSBA with a 2026 Technology Innovation LEAD Award. Operating support infrastructure includes a Finalsite-powered website, a Bea Young & Associates-led Equity and Cultural Audit, and Harper College Promise Scholarship partnership providing up to two years of tuition-free college to District 211 graduates.

As a government state entity, the district is funded primarily through local property taxes and Illinois state education aid rather than through commercial revenue; ancillary fee-based offerings include tuition-based summer school, fee-based adult continuing education courses, and community building rentals. It does not have a parent company, does not raise private capital, and is not publicly traded. Leadership transitioned in December 2024 with the appointment of Dr. Judith Campbell as the ninth superintendent effective July 1, 2025, and additional senior hires during 2026 (Ken Kleber as Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources and Andrew Peterman as Director of Technology and Digital Learning) signal continued executive bench-building.
