The Brookfield Board of Education holds its regular meeting this Wednesday, October 21, at 7:00 PM — and it will be the board's first regular meeting at its new home, the Candlewood Lake Elementary School Upper Cafeteria, after the board voted in August to move its meetings out of Brookfield High School.

The bigger question on the table: who fills the board's vacant seat. Former board chair Dr. Wendy Youngblood resigned effective September 1 after moving out of town; the board accepted her resignation in a 7-0 vote at its August 19 meeting. Local radio outlet WDAQ reported earlier this month that the board had been accepting applications from residents interested in the seat.

Whether the appointment actually comes up Wednesday is not yet confirmed — the meeting agenda had not been posted online as of Monday morning. If you want to watch this one, the new Candlewood Lake Elementary location is worth noting, since longtime attendees may still head to the high school out of habit.

Also worth knowing from the August minutes: the board's full 2026–27 schedule includes budget workshops in January (the 13th and 20th, with the 27th held in reserve), and an October 13 regular meeting video is posted on YouTube while its minutes are still pending.
