Why are there two school districts?

School Districts 67 and 115 operate independently and have separate Boards of Education. However, to provide a more efficient use of taxpayer dollars by reducing administrative costs for both Districts, the Boards of Education of District 67 and District 115 in July of 2004 entered into a Shared Service Agreement. 

Both Districts operate through one shared office, located in the Administration Center at Lake Forest High School West Campus, 300 S. Waukegan Road in Lake Forest. The Shared Service Agreement includes the following departments and personnel who are responsible for the operation and management of both District 115 and District 67 – the Office of the Superintendent, Business Office (Finance, Operations, Facilities, Food Service, and Transportation), Communications, Human Resources, Technology Services, Safety and Security, and Special Education Compliance and Grant Management. 

Additional District 67 offices for the Teaching and Learning and Student Services Departments can be found in the Cube (library) at Deer Path Middle School - East.
