This entity is not a traditional school district. It is Regional Office of Education #11, an administrative and regulatory office that serves Clark, Coles, Cumberland, Douglas, Edgar, Moultrie, and Shelby counties in Illinois. It does not levy property taxes, adopt curriculum, or operate schools directly in the way a standard district does.
The office oversees several specialized educational programs listed under its purview: Paris Bridges, Lerna Bridges, and Shelbyville Bridges; the Eastern Illinois EFE System; and three TAOEP (Teaching All Our Educational Possibilities) programs located in Paris, Lerna, and Shelbyville. These appear to be alternative or supplemental educational offerings rather than a traditional middle and high school system. The office serves grades six through twelve across its multi-county region.
State assessment data, enrollment numbers, graduation rates, attendance figures, and current spending per pupil were not available. This absence reflects the nature of a Regional Office of Education, which is not itself an operating school system and does not report standardized performance metrics in the same way districts do. A parent seeking to understand academic performance, student composition, and program breadth for schools in these counties would need to look at the individual school districts within each county, not this administrative entity.
If you are a resident or parent in Coles County, Clark County, Cumberland County, Douglas County, Edgar County, Moultrie County, or Shelby County, the information you need about K-12 education would come from the traditional school districts in your town or area, not from this regional office. The office itself provides services such as teacher professional development, special education administration, and other support functions to districts across the region, but it does not run a school system.
