Board Meetings

Board of Education Meetings

At bi-monthly school board meetings, the Board transacts the legal business of the school district through discussion and voting among the members.

All regular Board of Education meetings are held on the first and third Mondays at 7 p.m. in the board room at the EASD 131 Administrative Center located at 310 Seminary Avenue, Aurora, IL 60505. If the first or third Monday falls on a holiday, the meeting is held on a Tuesday.

The Board of Education also meets in three standing committees: Building & Grounds, Curriculum, and Finance. Schedules, agendas and minutes for those meetings are available on this website.

All Board of Education meetings and all Board committee meetings are open to the public.
