Meetings

The Glenbrook High School District 225 Board of Education typically meets once a month, generally on the second Monday, to set the District’s direction, goals, and priorities through its review of policies, budgets, and personnel matters.  

The Board will meet on the second and fourth Mondays (e.g., twice a month) in the following months:

• March, when two meetings are needed to approve the staffing plan;
• April, when two meetings are needed to address any reductions in force and to hold the annual organizational meeting; and
• May, when two meetings are needed to approve capital projects and meet timelines for the annual budget.

Meetings begin at 7 p.m. unless otherwise specifically advertised. Primarily, board meetings will be held in the board room of the District Office, located at 3801 West Lake Avenue in Glenview.

Recognition of Community Visitors

The Board welcomes public comments and appreciates the community’s time in presenting at the meeting. Members of the public are invited to address the Board during an agenda item called "Recognition of Community Visitors," in accordance with Board Policy 2030. 

Please note that this is a business meeting of the Board held in public, not a forum. While we welcome your comments, it is the Board’s practice to genuinely listen but not provide a response or engage in discussion. Accordingly, the Board receives public comments as a source of information and considers them in making decisions and in the establishment of policies. It is our practice to take no action on any items nor to discuss any items members of the public have raised until the Board has taken the time to gather adequate information and then objectively discuss available options. However, during the meeting, the Board, at its discretion, may choose to address an issue or correct any misinformation raised during public comment.

Individuals requesting to be heard during the Public Comment period must indicate such request to the Board secretary prior to the adoption of the agenda. A podium is provided, and individuals are asked to limit their comments to two minutes during this period. Comments do not have to be limited to agenda items. Please note that public comments during specific agenda items will not be permitted without the approval of the Board of Education.

Community members may also give written statements to the Board, via U.S. mail office (3801 West Lake Avenue, Glenview, IL 60026) or emailed to boardofeducation@glenbrook225.org. You may give Board members copies of your written materials at the Board meeting.
