Board of Education

The next Board Meeting is on Thursday, June 27, 2013 at L-W Central High School.

The Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 Board of Education consists of seven citizens of the school district, each of whom is elected for a four-year term. Their duties and responsibilities include: selecting a Superintendent; establishing general policies for the school system; employment of school personnel upon recommendation of the superintendent; adopting an annual budget and approving all expenditures; informing the public of the needs and the progress of the educational system; and exercising the legislative powers conferred or implied by the legislature in administering school functions.

Any adult resident may run for election to the board, providing he or she meets certain legal qualifications. School board members serve without pay.
