Board approves reopening Anna M. Thurston building for 2026-27 school year
Summary
St. Charles Community Schools trustees voted to reopen the former Anna M. Thurston building beginning with the 2026-2027 school year. The motion carried on a roll-call vote with four Ayes, two Nays and one Abstention.
President Marcia Kendall moved that the board approve reopening the former Anna M. Thurston building effective the 2026-2027 school year; the motion was seconded by Kevin Ritenburg and carried on a roll-call vote.
Superintendent Ronald Stanley had discussed the district's plans to reopen the building during his superintendent report. The roll-call vote recorded Allison Brady, Marcia Kendall, Angie Lewis and Kevin Ritenburg as Aye; Joseph McNaughton and James McPhail voted Nay; Mike Goschka recorded an Abstain (without conflict). The board recorded the motion outcome as carried.
Board materials do not specify renovation budgets, an occupancy plan, or programming for the building in these minutes; the board did not attach an implementation timeline beyond the effective school year. The decision will affect district facilities planning for 2026-2027 and was recorded as a formal action in the meeting minutes.
