What Bloomingdale School District 13 does

Bloomingdale School District 13 is a public K-8 school district in Bloomingdale, Illinois, established in 1890 and operated as a government entity under an elected Board of Education. It serves approximately 1,354 students across three schools: DuJardin Elementary School, Erickson Elementary School, and Westfield Middle School, employing 97 teachers and operating with a 14:1 student-teacher ratio. Educational offerings span core academics, fine arts (band, choir, drama), competitive athletics under the Northwest DuPage Valley Athletic Conference, and a range of student clubs. The district also provides student support services including counseling, special education, ELL support, and a 24/7 confidential Safe School Helpline for safety reporting.

The district's technology stack is built on conventional K-12 edtech rather than proprietary or AI-driven systems. The website and parent communication layer runs on the Edlio content management platform; student/parent engagement is delivered via Otus (district-wide) and Alma (Westfield Middle School); transportation visibility is provided by the FirstView bus app; safety is supported by the Safe School Helpline; library services use Follett Destiny Discover and Sora (OverDrive) for digital reading; and fee collection runs through MySchoolBucks, with the Westfield Arrow weekly newsletter published on Smore. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary models, patents, or research initiatives are disclosed in the source material.

As a public entity, the district does not operate a commercial revenue model. Funding is sourced primarily from local property taxes, Illinois state education aid, and federal grants, with limited fee-based services (e.g., PTO membership dues, lunch program payments via Wholesome Food Services) and recognized industry awards (2026 U.S. News Best Elementary and Middle Schools, NWDVAC athletic championships). The 2021-2026 Strategic Plan governs priorities, and a leadership transition is underway: the Board approved Dr. Vicki King as the next Superintendent, effective July 1, 2026, succeeding Dr. Jon Bartelt.
