About ROE4

Who We Are

The Boone-Winnebago Regional Office of Education #4 (ROE4) serves as a vital hub of educational support for Boone and Winnebago Counties. Led by Regional Superintendent Scott Bloomquist and Assistant Regional Superintendent Allison Pierson, we work both behind the scenes and alongside schools to ensure educators, students, and families have the tools they need to succeed.

Regional Offices of Education are essential support partners to the Illinois State Board of Education and local school districts. The Regional Superintendent of Schools is not only the chief administrative officer of a Regional Office of Education, but also the only elected education professional in Illinois. Acting as an intermediate agency between the state and local districts, ROEs carry out important regulatory functions as directed by the Illinois School Code—while also delivering the direct support, services, and resources that schools and communities rely on every day.
