CPSBOE Monthly Meeting
The Chicago Board of Education holds its monthly Board meeting on the fourth Thursday of each month, unless otherwise indicated. Members of the public are welcome to present during the public participation portion of the meeting. Additional information, including instructions on how to register to speak at the meeting, is available on the Board website at cpsboe.org. Meetings are livestreamed on the CPS YouTube channel: youtube.com/chipubschools.
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 cpsboe.org.
The Public Participation segment of the meeting will begin as indicated in the meeting agenda and proceed in accordance with Public Participation guidelines. Board Meetings will be live-streamed to the general public on the Board website (www.cpsboe.org).
For the May 28, 2026 Board Meeting, advance registration to speak will be available beginning Tuesday, May 26th at 3:30 p.m. and will close on Wednesday, May 27th at 3:30 p.m. 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.
