Superintendent: ISBE maintenance grant awarded for new lighting; bids set for March 2
Summary
Superintendent Andy Siegfried reported an ISBE school maintenance grant has been awarded and that plans for new lighting are finalized; the district will accept bids on March 2 with the advertisement running 'last Friday.'
Superintendent Andy Siegfried told the Chaney-Monge Board of Education on Jan. 20, 2026, that an Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) school maintenance grant has been awarded to the district and that plans for new lighting were finalized by Chuck Newman. Siegfried said the district will take bids on March 2 and that the bid was announced in the newspaper "last Friday."
The board heard this as part of the Superintendent’s report. The lighting project follows the award of the ISBE maintenance grant and, per Siegfried, represents the immediate capital work the district intends to solicit bids for; no dollar amount for the grant or the lighting contract was specified in the meeting record. Next procedural steps are the public bid opening process beginning after March 2 and subsequent reporting back to the board as bids are received.
