School Board (District 36)

The first public school in Winnetka, Illinois was opened on October 1, 1859 on the corner of Maple and Elm Streets. Known as District #2 School, the one-room structure sat on the present-day Village Green and held 25 students. It was forced to move ten years later when, in 1869, Charles Peck donated the Village Green to Winnetka for park purposes and stipulated that no structures ever be built on the land. The same year, Winnetka was incorporated as a village with a population of 450. The Winnetka Public Schools District 36 is proud to celebrate 150 years of public education in our community.

The Winnetka Public Schools Distrct 36 monthly board meetings are held in the Carleton Washburne School Resource Center and generally take place at 7:15 P.M. the fourth Tuesday of each month. The community is welcome at all meetings and there are two opportunities for public comment during every session.
