Committee Meetings

Board Committees

The Board of Education has committee meetings, which are work sessions usually regarding only a single topic. By Illinois law, the Board may not take official action at committee meetings. However, the public is always welcome to attend. If there is a meeting, the agenda will be posted as required by law. The three primary Board Committees include: 

  • Buildings & Grounds Committee: The purpose of the Buildings & Grounds Committee is to review facility work across the district, provide guidance on strategic facility initiatives, and ensure community involvement in the district’s facilities processes. Board representatives include: DeShawn Arms, Beth Bazer, and Mara Silver-Schack. 
     
  • Finance Committee: The purpose of the Finance Committee is to review the district budget, financial projections and other important financial documents and reports. Board representatives include: Eve Pfanzelter and Adam Weinstock
     
  • Policy Committee: The purpose of the Policy Committee is to review existing policies, recommend changes where necessary, and propose new policies for consideration by the Board. Board representatives include: Christine Beeftink and Diana Horwitz. 

Board members DeShawn Arms and Diana Horwitz also serve on the district's Code of Conduct Committee. Board members Mara Silver-Schack and Adam Weinstock also serve on the district's Negotiations Committee.
