Over decades, district actions intersected with federal programs like those administered by the United States Department of Education and grant initiatives similar to those from the National Science Foundation.
District campuses include comprehensive secondary sites comparable to Illinois high schools participating in the Illinois High School Association and neighborhood elementary schools modeled on standards from the Common Core State Standards Initiative adoption debates led by state boards.
