About the Board... and when it meets
The Board of Education is the policy-making body of the Champaign Unit 4 
Schools. The seven members of the board are elected at large to 
four-year terms of office by the registered voters of the school 
district. Regular meetings are scheduled on the second Monday of the 
month at 7:00 P.M. at the Mellon Administrative Center, 703 S. New 
Street, Champaign. Regular board meetings are open to the public. Closed 
sessions are held occasionally in accordance with the provisions in the 
Illinois Open Meetings Act. Open board meetings can usually be seen live 
on Cable Channel 5.
