The Thornton Township High School District 205 Board of Education sets policy for the school district, in accordance with state and federal laws, in order to ensure the educational results for all District students.  The seven members are elected at large by District 205 residents and serve unpaid, four-year terms. Board elections are held every two years in April. 

The Board conducts its business in open meetings to which the public is invited and encouraged to attend.

The Board of Education meets every second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. For the months of September, October, November and December, the Board meets in the Thornridge High School Auditorium; during the months of January, February, March and April, the Board meets in the auditorium at Thornton Township High School; and during the months of May, June, July, and August, the Board meets in the cafeteria at Thornwood High School.

Please note that due to construction at Thornwood High School, the June, July, and August 2024 board meetings will be held at Thornton Township High School in Harvey.

Time is set aside at each regular meeting for public participation when community members can address the Board.
