The Board of Education is responsible for determining the policies which guide the operation of the district.

The East Aurora School District 131 Board of Education consists of seven volunteer members elected to serve terms of four years.

Elections are held on the first Tuesday in April of each odd-numbered year. Terms of members are staggered so there are three or four seats contested at each biennial election.

The state of Illinois gives local school boards responsibility for policies in these areas: approval of courses of study and textbooks, adoption of an annual budget, construction, furnishing and maintenance of facilities, employment, and evaluation of the superintendent.

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 McKnight School Service Center located at 417 Fifth Street, 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.
