From the School Board President

Due to a resignation announced at our March 2025 School Board meeting, we currently have an open seat on the Board that is to be seated this month to fulfill the final two years of that term. Per Board policy 2:70, the remaining term was less than 868 days, and the resignation was less than 88 days until the next election (April 1, 2025); therefore, the Board shall appoint a person to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the open term.

The Board will be accepting applications from community members seeking to fill the open role through April 10th at 5 p.m. Qualifications to seek a Board seat are noted in Board Policy 2:40. The application can be found here.

After the application window closes, the Board will select candidates to interview in a closed session on either April 17th from 6:00-8:30 p.m. or April 18th from 8:00-10:30 a.m. Selected candidates may choose to meet with the Board in person or via Zoom.

The Board will discuss the final candidates and select a new Board member in time to be sworn in at the organizational meeting of the Board on April 22, 2025.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Board President, Dan Waters at danwaters@winnetka36.org.
