St. Charles board disbands bond ad hoc committee after heated exchange
Summary
The St. Charles Community Schools Board voted unanimously June 10 to disband its bond ad hoc committee following a heated discussion in which a board member called the superintendent a 'liar' and addressed an assistant staffer sharply.
St. Charles Community Schools Board of Education President Marcia Kendall presided over a special meeting June 10 where the Board voted 7-0 to disband the ad hoc committee formed to advance bond-related work.
James McPhail moved to disband the bond ad hoc committee, and Joseph McNaughton seconded. The motion carried unanimously. The minutes record a tense exchange earlier in the discussion: Board member Mike Goschka is recorded as calling Superintendent Ron Stanley a 'liar' and telling Executive Assistant Shannon Grunas, 'You be quiet, you're just an executive assistant, and your words aren’t needed.' President Kendall used the gavel to restore order.
Board members cited a lack of communication from the ad hoc bond committee during the discussion. The disbanding takes effect immediately; the minutes do not specify next steps for bond planning or whether elements of the committee’s work will transfer to staff or standing Board processes.
