School Board Elections

 

The District 58 Board of Education comprises seven members elected to serve four-year overlapping terms. The terms are staggered so there are three or four seats contested at each biennial election. Click here to view a list of current District 58 Board members and their term in office.

As outlined in Board of Education Policy 2:10 School Governance, the Board's powers and duties include the authority to adopt, enforce and monitor all policies for the management and governance of the District's schools. Click here to view the District 58 Board of Education Policy Manual.

As detailed in Board of Education Policy 2:30 School District Elections, School Board elections are held at the Consolidated General 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.  The canvass of votes is conducted by the election authority within 21 days after the election.
