Planning calendar
The Chicago Board of Education holds its monthly Agenda Review Committee meeting on the third Wednesday of each month and monthly Board meeting on the fourth Thursday of each month, unless otherwise indicated. Beginning March 2025, the Agenda Review Committees meetings (three separate Standing Committees) will be held on the second Wednesday of each month, unless otherwise indicated. Members of the public are welcome to present during the public participation portion of the meeting.
Agenda Review Committee meetings and Board meetings will be held at CPS Loop Office, 42 West Madison Street, Garden Level, Board Room and will begin at 10:30 a.m., unless otherwise noted. Beginning March 2025, the Agenda Review Committees meetings will begin at 8:30 a.m., unless otherwise noted. The Board President and the Chief Executive Officer have determined that registered speakers who wish to present during Public Participation may have the option to participate in person at the location of the Board meeting or virtually via an electronic platform. The public will have access to the meeting via live stream at www.cpsboe.org.
For Agenda Review Committee meetings, advance speaker registration will be open the Monday preceding the Agenda Review Committee meeting at 10:30 AM and close Tuesday at 10:30 AM. Beginning March 2025, advance speaker registration will be open the Monday preceding the Agenda Review Committees meetings at 8:30 AM and close Tuesday at 8:30 AM. Anyone interested in speaking can sign up. After the 24 hour registration period, a lottery will randomly select a set number of speakers from those who registered. For example, if 100 people register, the lottery will select speakers for the number of slots available. This process gives everyone a fair chance to address the Board. Advance observer registration will open the Monday preceding the Agenda Review Committee meeting at 10:30 AM and close Tuesday at 5:00 PM, or until all observer slots are filled unless otherwise noted. Beginning March 2025, advance observer registration will be open the Monday preceding the Agenda Review Committees meetings at 8:30 AM and close Tuesday at 5:00 PM. Advance registration during this period is available by the following methods::
- Online: www.cpsboe.org (recommended)
- Phone: (773) 553-1600
For Board meetings, advance speaker registration will be open the Tuesday preceding the Board meeting at 10:30 AM and close Wednesday at 10:30 AM. Anyone interested in speaking can sign up. After the 24 hour registration period, a lottery will randomly select a set number of speakers from those who registered. For example, if 100 people register, the lottery might select 30 of them to speak. This process gives everyone a fair chance to address the Board. Advance observer registration will open the Tuesday preceding the Board meeting at 10:30 AM and close Wednesday at 5:00 PM, or until all observer slots are filled unless otherwise noted.

To ensure equity of access to address the Board, an individual may not speak at back-to-back meetings and more than one meeting per month. If you register for back-to-back meetings and more than one meeting per month, you will not be included for that meeting lottery. In the event an individual registers to speak at a consecutive meeting, the individual will not be called to address the Board.
The Public Participation segment of the meeting will begin following the Opening Statement for Agenda Review Committee Meetings or CEO Remarks for Board Meetings and proceed for no more than 30 registered speakers for 60 minutes. Beginning March 2025, the Public Participation segment of the Agenda Review Committees meetings will begin following the Opening Remarks from the Committee Chair and proceed for no more than 10 registered speakers for 20 minutes for each Committee. Registered speakers will receive instructions for accessing the in person or electronic platform for Public Participation.
The Chicago Board of Education is committed to increased transparency and promoting additional opportunities for the public to provide their input at Agenda Review Committee(s) meetings and Board of Education meetings. To this end, members of the public who wish to submit written comments for Agenda Review Committee(s) and/or Board of Education meetings can do so via the Written Comments Form on Board website at cpsboe.org. Written comments received between the posting of the public agenda and notice through 5 p.m. the day after the meeting will be submitted to Board Members for their consideration.
Further, let the official record reflect that the 2024-2025 Planning Calendar has been prepared in accordance with the Illinois Open Meetings Act and will be available for public distribution.
