Oak Park USD Board of Education
The Board of Education is the governing body of the Oak Park Unified School District. It is a five-member entity, with each individual board member elected at large and serving four-year terms for the unincorporated area of Oak Park. After every term, board members may choose to seek re-election. The main responsibilities of the Board of Education include setting district policy, establishing district goals, ensuring that the district is compliant with Federal, State, and Local requirements, creating a budget that prioritizes the established goals, and maintaining contractual relationships with the Oak Park Teachers Association and the Oak Park Classified Association. The Board is also responsible for employing the Superintendent and the unit to whom the Superintendent is accountable. Together, the Board of Education and the Superintendent form the Governance Team, working collaboratively to fulfill the unique responsibilities of each entity. The Board fulfills its responsibilities by way of action at regularly scheduled monthly Board meetings and special meetings when warranted. We welcome your attendance at board meetings and think you will find them beneficial in increasing your knowledge, awareness, and understanding of the district. As elected representatives, we strive to balance the interests of all facets of the Oak Park Unified School District and the community at large in our decisions, with the children at the forefront of our minds.
