At every open meeting or hearing, the Board allows any member of the public to provide comments. Citizens who wish to speak must sign the speaker’s roster prior to the start of the public comments portion of the agenda. Speakers are allowed three minutes to address the Board and must begin by stating their name and local address.

Many issues are often best served by addressing a teacher or principal directly. If an issue pertains to a specific student and/or class, it is advised that the citizen contact the teacher directly. If the issue pertains to a specific school, it is advised that the citizen contact the principal of that school directly. If the issue pertains to the district as a whole, or is global in nature, the citizen may wish to contact the Superintendent's office at (630) 617-2304 or email the Board of Education at boe@elmhurst205.org.
