Inspiring Education and Innovation
In partnership with family and community, Woodridge School District 68 will provide a comprehensive educational foundation for all children in a safe, caring environment, preparing them to be productive, responsible, and successful members of society.

Philosophy of Education
In Woodridge School District 68 we believe that...our primary purpose must be to develop the intellectual growth of all students through a strong foundation of basic skills. These basic skills should be fused with freedom of expression and creativity to generate an atmosphere that will encourage learning and motivate students to think independently...we should concern ourselves with the self concept of each student. We must acknowledge the physical, social, and emotional needs of each student. Individual talents and abilities should be recognized and enhanced...each student must develop an understanding of the meaning of democracy, an awareness of the importance of human relations, and an appreciation and respect for our country and its historical traditions…

aesthetic experiences develop imagination, creative expression, and cognitive development...by creating an atmosphere for independent thought and corresponding responsibility, all students will gain a better understanding and appreciation of their roles in the family, school, community, country, and world community...in a rapidly changing world, learning must be a lifelong process. Educators, students, parents and the community share responsibility for this process. Sound educational values reside neither in things nor phrases, but rather in people.

The Board of Education establishes a vision for the community’s schools that reflects a consensus of the board, community, and district staff. The school board has a wide variety of additional responsibilities, including, but not limited to, adopting a balanced annual budget, adopting the school calendar, negotiating contracts with employee unions, and approving curriculum programs.

All Woodridge School District 68 Board of Education meetings begin at 7:30pm and are held in the conference room at the District Administrative Center, 7925 Janes Avenue, unless otherwise noted. All regular Board meetings are also streamed live on the Zoom platform. Links to the livestream will be posted on the district web calendar. A recording of the meeting will be made available for viewing until the next Board meeting; the link to the recording will be posted on the district website, generally within 24-48 hours of the end of the meeting.

A schedule of upcoming meetings, notices and agendas are posted in accordance with the Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/). Woodridge 68 Board meeting notices, agendas, packets, and minutes are posted online with BoardBook. BoardBook is a web-based software application that electronically streamlines the preparation of board agenda packets and builds a searchable archive of meeting agenda packets and approved minutes.
