Chicago’s Board of Education will be moving the rest of its meetings this year away from its longtime home inside Chicago Public Schools’ central Loop office.
The board this week disclosed that the remainder of its 2024 meetings will be moved to other locations after the regular board room sustained water damage when a pipe burst at a nearby business just before the board’s June meeting.
While that room is undergoing repairs it will also receive renovations as the district prepares to usher in an expanded, partially elected board beginning in January.
Following November’s election, the board will jump from its current size of seven members up to 21 members — 10 of whom will be elected. The remainder will be appointed by the mayor.
This month’s board meeting will be held at Jones College Prep, 700 S. State St., and the September meeting will be held at Clemente Community Academy High School, 1147 N. Western Ave.
The remainder of the board’s monthly meetings and agenda review meetings this year will be held at the district’s Colman Office, located at 4655 S. Dearborn St.
