Board of Education

About 

The Board of Education consists of seven elected officials who each serve a four-year term. Board elections are held during the month of April in odd-numbered years as part of the consolidated election cycle.

The most common Board actions include approval of policies for the operation of the schools, employment of staff, adopting and monitoring the annual budget, adopting the annual tax levy, authorizing curriculum development, and providing general direction.

Contact

All Board members can be contacted through a Board of Education group e-mail. The email address is: boardofeducation@northbrook28.net. An e-mail message to this address is forwarded to every Board member and the Superintendent. Please be advised that all e-mails sent to any current Board member will be considered part of the public record and therefore may be subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). It is also important to note that Board members do not respond to emails individually.

As the Board's function is primarily policy-making, a resident who has questions about specific school functions or issues should contact the teacher or administrator closest to the situation. A resident who has questions about the operation of the school district should contact the Superintendent of Schools.

A resident who needs general information about the schools or the district should contact the Director of Communications & Community Relations
