The Board consists of seven volunteer members who are elected by the community. Our primary work is to set the district’s mission and goals and monitor district performance.
Our district’s mission is “Preparing children to learn and succeed in a changing world”. Our district’s goals can be found in our Strategic Plan. The Board revises the Strategic Plan in the spring of each year. It is posted on the District 57 homepage, and I encourage you to read it. It is a short read and summarizes all the improvement work that is going on in the district. The Board also uses the Strategic Plan as the basis for monitoring district performance.
Now that you know the basics about what the Board does, I encourage you to contact us with your thoughts on district goals and performance. There are several ways you can share your perspective with board members. Community members can address the Board at all of our meetings. The meetings are usually the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month in the Fairview Multipurpose Room; meeting details are always posted in advance on the district website.
You can also email the entire Board using the Board Feedback form on the district website. This form allows you to send an email to the entire board with just one click. Individual board member email address are also listed on the website.
The Board of Education continues to work diligently to keep District 57 a premier district in the area. We couldn’t do it without the help of all of you, the parents and guardians, the teachers, the support staff, the administrators and of course the reason we are all here, our amazing students. The Board wishes you all a wonderful school year.
