What Fox Lake Grade School District 114 does

Fox Lake Grade School District 114 is a public K-8 school district organized under Illinois state law, governed by an elected Board of Education, and headquartered in Spring Grove, Illinois. The district operates two schools: Lotus Elementary School (preschool through 4th grade, located at 29067 W Grass Lake Road, Spring Grove) and Stanton Middle School (5th through 8th grade, located at 101 Hawthorne Lane, Fox Lake). It serves students residing within defined district boundaries in the Fox Lake area of Lake County, Illinois. As a government entity, the district is funded primarily through local property tax levies and state and federal education aid; there is no tuition charged to in-district residents.

The district's core offering is comprehensive public education including academic instruction, special education services (IEP and 504 accommodations), bilingual/ELL programs, STEM curriculum, music and arts education, social-emotional learning (Second Step curriculum), and student support services including mental health counseling and nursing. Technology infrastructure is composed entirely of standard third-party educational platforms: Skyward for student information and family access, Google Apps for Education, Follett Destiny for library management, Renaissance Learning's Accelerated Reader, Edgenuity for supplemental online learning, Frontline AESOP for absence management, Clever Portal for single sign-on, and Spiceworks for IT help desk ticketing. The district also runs meal, transportation, and before/after school activity programs.

The district supplements its operating budget with private philanthropy, most notably through the Robert D. Sayles Foundation which has donated over $90,600 since 2004 toward STEM, music, literacy, and special education programs. Additional partnerships include the Lake Forest Symphony (artist-in-residence), the Fox Lake/Grant Township Area Historical Society, and Promote Fox Lake (community service). The district refinanced $4,215,000 in Series 2001 Bonds in September 2015 to reduce interest costs by approximately $164,000. As a non-investment-grade public entity, the district has no traditional revenue mechanics; financial inflows are governed by Illinois school funding formulas and local property tax referendum outcomes.
