Board of Education

The Board of Education typically meets on the second Tuesday of the month. Please see the District calendar for dates and times or click to download a pdf list of board meeting dates (Please note: on 9/16/25, the Board of Education moved the November 11th Board meeting to November 12th to avoid Veteran's Day)

Each Illinois school board member who is elected or appointed to fill a vacancy of at least one year’s duration must complete State-mandated professional development and leadership training (PDLT) and Open Meetings Act (OMA) training. State-mandated training is also required for board members who want to vote upon a dismissal based upon the Performance Evaluation Reform Act. For additional information, see Board policy 2:120, Board Member Development.

The board member profiles below include the state-mandated training requirements and other professional development activities that were completed by each Board member. When the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) provided the training, the acronym “IASB” follows the listed activity.
