Board adopts 2026 meeting schedule, eliminates regular work sessions and adds special bond meeting
Summary
The board approved a 2026 schedule that ends regularly scheduled work sessions in favor of three-member ad hoc committees on request, and added a Jan. 19 special meeting for presentations from Spence Brothers, IDI and PFM about an August 2026 bond; motions passed unanimously.
The St. Charles Community Schools Board unanimously adopted a 2026 meeting schedule that removes regularly scheduled work sessions and replaces them with an ad hoc committee process. Under the new procedure, any two board members may request an ad hoc committee; the president appoints the third member. Each ad hoc committee must include three board members (less than a quorum), select its own chair, exist only as long as needed to address a specific issue, and report recommendations to the full board without binding authority.
During the same action item the board approved adding a special meeting on Monday, Jan. 19, 2026, at 5:30 PM in the MS/HS STC Student Center to host presentations from Spence Brothers, IDI and PFM related to a planned August 2026 bond. The motions to adopt the schedule and to add the special meeting were carried 7-0.
Board members framed the ad hoc approach as a way to balance study and governance while avoiding standing committees or scheduled work sessions. The board noted the presentations on the Jan. 19 special meeting are preparatory steps for the potential August bond; no bond authorization or expenditure was made at the Jan. 7 meeting.
