Elementary School District 159 (ESD 159), also known as Matteson School District 159, is a school district headquartered in Matteson, Illinois near Chicago, United States.[2]
The district serves portions of Matteson, Richton Park, Frankfort, and Tinley Park.[3] As of 2017[update] it has 2,100 students.[4]
History
The first school in what would become the district, the Sieden Prairie Schoolhouse, opened in 1869. The district headquarters was located on the former site of the schoolhouse.[4] The district considers 1869 as its date of establishment.[5]
From 2007 to 2016, multiple employees were related to a total of eight people who served on the school board. In 2016 the school district did not have a specific policy that addressed the practice of nepotism.[6]
Mable Alfred served as superintendent. In December 2018, the school board voted to remove Alfred from per position.[7] In May 2019, five members of the school board voted to make Alfred the superintendent again, while one voted against the proposal and with one more not voting.[8]
