Partnerships. Legislation. Networking.

LUDA is committed to partnerships and collaboration. Whether it is universities, other professional organizations, advocacy groups, government entities, or private businesses, our commitment is to the support of our member districts, their students, staff, and communities.

History

LUDA (The Large Unit District Association) was created in 1976 by a group of superintendents who recognized the need for an organization that would provide networking, professional development, and advocacy for large unit school districts.

Since then, LUDA has become one of the most respected voices in Illinois on matters of education policy, providing advocacy and testimony on behalf of students throughout the state.

In addition, LUDA has become an important resource for school administrators in Illinois to learn, share, and connect with each other.

“LUDA represents the largest unit districts across Illinois, thus speaking on behalf of hundreds of thousands of students.”
