BOARD MEMBERS

District 45 Board of Education members serve four‑year terms and are elected in the April general election.

District 45 Board Members “adopt” a school for periodic visits and chats. This practice provides the board with increased opportunities for face-to-face contact with students, teachers and parents. Our board members and their adopted schools for the current school year are listed below. Additionally, District 45 Board of Education members actively participate in District 45 by serving on various committees.
