About the Board of Education
The Madison Board of Education is a seven-member policymaking body. Members are elected in April to serve staggered three-year terms in office. Our Strategic Framework lays out a roadmap for our work.
Regular Board meetings are generally held on the last Monday of the month, beginning at 6 p.m. Special meetings and work groups typically hold meetings one a month.
