About 287
Welcome to Intermediate District 287
Intermediate District 287's mission is to be the premier provider of innovative specialized services to ensure that each member district can meet the unique learning needs of its students.
One of only three intermediate districts in the state, Intermediate District 287 was founded in 1967 by a group of school districts seeking to provide students with vocational education options.
Since then, District 287 has grown to a consortium of 13 west metro suburban districts and added special education, gifted education, world language and other academic specialties to its long list of services and programs for students and staff.
District 287 member districts serve a combined student enrollment of 100,000 students. Sharing staff and resources is an effective way for District 287's member districts to provide highly specialized educational programs to their students and families.
