18-15 Original - April 18, 2018 and Amended - April, 24, 2018  Jered Piepenbrink  Occupational Employment Statistics Manager/
Illinois Department of Employment Security/
Economic Information and Analysis 
 Original Request (dated April 18, 2018): Copies of public records that include job titles, wages (hourly or salary), department, and hours worked (if part time) of all employees of Jacksonville School District 117 listed on the Quarterly Contribution report for the payroll that included November 12, 2017.

Based on that report, this list should have around 653 employees. Teachers should be reported by both grade level and whether or not they teach special education. For example, elementary teachers, kindergarten teachers, and high school special education teachers should all be reported as different occupations. We are not requesting names, SSNs or any other personal information.

Amended Request (dated April 24, 2018): To clarify everything with the Occupational Employment Report. Per our discussion, we would like to add a couple things to our request in order to clearly define the job titles of the school district. We would also like to include the names and work locations of all employees. With the names we can clearly define what the primary job each individual is working in the case where they are working more than one. With locations, we can clarify if a teacher is working at the elementary, middle school, or high school level.
 Email  Yes, via email on April 24, 2018 (5 day extension requested)
