Education

Public elementary schools and junior high schools in Schaumburg are operated by Community Consolidated School District 54. Schaumburg falls within High School District 211, which may be receiving "much needed" funds should a referendum pass later this year (2005). It is the opinion of many Schaumburg taxpayers and students that the proposed fund increase for 2005 is by no means "much needed". Schaumburg teachers, especially high school teachers are among the highest paid in the state. Schools in Schaumburg have a myriad of extracurricular activities. Many taxpayers would say the teachers in district 211 are grossly overpaid and over-benefited.
