Board approves IDI as architectural engineer for potential 2026 bond
Summary
The St. Charles Community Schools Board rescinded a prior RFP motion and approved IDI as the architectural engineer to support planning for a possible 2026 bond; Spence Brothers warned the board of bond-related deadlines. The vote was unanimous (6-0).
The St. Charles Community Schools Board of Trustees voted to rescind an Aug. 20, 2025 motion related to a request for proposals and approved IDI as the architectural engineer for work connected to a potential 2026 bond.
Jake Golden of Spence Brothers briefed trustees on bond deadlines and said the district needs an architectural engineer to meet planning timelines. The minutes state that the motion to "rescind the August 20, 2025, motion regarding the RFP for an architectural engineer and move forward with IDI as the architectural engineer for the potential 2026 bond" was made by Joe McNaughton and seconded by James McPhail; the motion carried (6, 0).
Board members framed the decision as a step toward meeting time-sensitive planning milestones for the proposed bond. The approval follows Spence Brothers' presentation earlier in the meeting on project deadlines and the need for engineering support.
The board did not set a public timeline for next bond-related steps in the minutes; the selection of IDI replaces the prior RFP action and gives district staff and the selected firm authority to proceed with planning tasks referenced by Spence Brothers.
