Who is the LCROE?
Our Mission: Provide Access & Opportunity for all Lake County Students

Who We Are

Founded on a vision to help ensure all students come to school “Ready to Learn,” the board of the Lake County Regional Office of Education Foundation and a team of educators collaborated to make it a reality. 

The Lake County Regional Office Educational Foundation (LCROE) is a  509(a)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing access and opportunity to all Lake County students. We offer  guidance, resources and mentorship to support the development and operations of an Educational Foundation for any school that resides in Lake Country Illinois.
