 Evanston/Skokie CC School District 65 Board of EducationEvanston/Skokie CC School District 65 is governed by a locally-elected, seven-member board. School board members serve, uncompensated, for four-year terms. Members are elected at-large during the Consolidated Election on the first Tuesday in April of each odd-numbered year. (If that date conflicts with Passover, the election moves to the second Tuesday.) Terms of members are staggered so that there are three or four seats contested at each biennial election.
Board of Education meetings are subject to the Illinois Open Meetings Act and, with the exception of matters legally allowed for closed session discussion, are held in public. All actions of the Board of Education occur in the public setting. Upon election to office, board members take an oath of office to publicly express, among other things, their commitment to respect taxpayer interests by serving as faithful protectors of the school district's assets. They commit to respect and encourage free expression of opinion by fellow board members and
others with the understanding that they must also respect the privacy of students and employees. And, board members acknowledge that individually they have no legal authority and that decisions can be made only by majority vote of the board at a public meeting.
Each year, the Board of Education adopts a meeting schedule outlining the dates for the Working (usually first Monday of the month) and Regular (usually third Monday of the month) meetings. They Board also develops an annual planning calendar (subject to change) to
outline a schedule for the presentation of reports and updates for the year.
For more information, please contact Pat Markham, School Board Secretary at 847 859-8067.
