Board of Education Duties
The District is governed by a Board of Education which is comprised of 7 members. The Board has the authority to adopt and enforce all policies that are necessary for the management and governance of the district schools. The powers and duties of the Board are enumerated in the laws of the State of Illinois. The Board functions within the framework of those laws, as well as, court decisions, directives and rules of the Illinois State Board of Education, and mandates from the state and federal government.
Official decisions of the Board can only be reached at Board meetings. Individual Board members or groups of Board members do not have authority to speak for the Board or make out-of-meeting commitments on behalf of the Board unless directed to do so.
