Communication Notes (from official page)

> Although the Board reads every email it receives, any communication sent to the full Board at boardofeducation@dist113.org or to individual Board members will be forwarded to the Superintendent for response from the Board President or Superintendent, whoever is more appropriate, within 48 hours. Board responses must comply with the Open Meetings Act and all District 113 emails may constitute a public record, and therefore may be released under the Freedom of Information Act if applicable.

Election cycle

School board elections are held during the Consolidated Election on the first Tuesday in April of each odd-numbered year. If that date conflicts with Passover, the election moves to the second Tuesday.
