The Board of Education consists of seven elected officials, each serving a four-year term. Seven candidates are running for three open seats in the 2023 election.
School board members play a crucial role in the governance and management of our school district and its impact on our students, educators, and community. It is essential that board members possess the skills, experience, and commitment necessary to make informed and effective decisions in this role.

What makes a good school board candidate?
According to the Illinois Association for School Boards (IASB)
Board members come from all walks of life.
The ability to function as one member of a seven-member governing board is not determined by any demographic or social standing.
Effective school board members, however, are characterized by the following:
- The ability to work as a member of a team with an open mind and to engage in give-and-take to arrive at a group consensus.
- The willingness to spend the time required to become informed and do the homework needed to take part in effective school board meetings.
- The desire to serve children and the community and a strong belief in the values of public schools and educational success.
- The recognition that the school district is a large operation and that the board is responsible for seeing that the district is run by highly skilled professionals.
