Menard/Sangamon ROE

Located along South Dirksen Parkway in Springfield, Illinois, the Menard/Sangamon Regional Office of Education operates as an active public local education agency serving the rural fringe communities of the broader Springfield metropolitan region. As a traditional public regional entity rather than a charter organization, the district oversees four operational facilities tailored to support students across the upper-elementary, middle, and high school levels, specifically spanning 4th through 12th grade. For parents, community members, and educational researchers, the agency provides administrative oversight, specialized programming, and district services easily accessible through its main Springfield office or online at roe51.org.

To deliver these specialized educational programs and support services across central Illinois, the district maintains a substantial professional workforce comprising approximately 119 full-time equivalent staff members. This team includes over 66 full-time equivalent classroom teachers, four instructional aides, and nearly 49 dedicated support staff personnel who handle crucial operational, therapeutic, and administrative roles. Although traditional direct student enrollment is reported as zero due to the agency's specialized regional structure, this robust staffing workforce ensures that participating fourth through twelfth graders throughout the area receive comprehensive academic instruction, intervention services, and tailored support.
