A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Kaneland Community Unit School District 302 on January 28, 2025. The request, filed by the Kane County Reporter, sought access to all emails and memos from the past year containing specific keywords.
The requested keywords were "Lucy Calkins" and "Units of Study". These terms may be related to educational materials or programs used within the school district. As a media organization committed to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Kane County Reporter believe that access to such public records is crucial for holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional, given our role in disseminating information to the public.
According to the Illinois Report Card, the average state teacher salary in 2023 was $73,916, and the state average Administrative Salary was $116,908.
