# Board Meeting 8/13/2026

The St. Charles School District Board of Education meeting on August 13, 2026, included updates on summer capital projects funded through the spring 2025 bond issue. Major work continued at St. Charles West and Harris Elementary, with work also taking place at most district buildings. In its strategic-plan review, the district discussed facilities planning, school configuration, and custodial staffing and building cleanliness. No construction contract awards, bids, vendors, or project cost amounts were identified in the transcript.

The board approved the consent agenda and the preschool program review. The district also reported that it achieved its target fund-balance range of 20–25% in fiscal years 2025 and 2026, while the FY2025 operating budget ended with an approximately 0.3% deficit, below the budgeted 0.8% deficit. The board discussed setting an annual tax-rate hearing and filling a board vacancy, but the transcript does not clearly capture the related vote or hearing date. Other discussion covered academic results, early-childhood programs, and proposed state accountability changes; no additional procurement actions were identified.
