The case that came to be known as Brown v. Board of Education was actually the name given to five separate cases that were heard by the U.S. Supreme Court concerning the issue of segregation in public schools. All regular Board of Education meetings are held on the first and third Mondays at 7 p.m. in the board room at the McKnight School Service Center located at 417 Fifth Street, Aurora, IL 60505.
