Shelbyville School District Prepares for the Upcoming School Year

The Shelbyville School District will be seeing quite a bit of change next year, after there were several teachers who retired, including 5 from Shelbyville High School. Also at SHS, a new principal was appointed, after Richard Stuart was hired at Mattoon High School, and will fully begin his duties on July 1st. Shane Schuricht, who just completed is 21st year in education in Illinois, said he's excited to be in Shelbyville. He said, he has been happy with the interactions he's had, and is glad he was able to be part of the hiring process of the new staff at SHS.

With the Illinois State Budget not being finalized, Denise Bence, Superintendent of Shelbyville Schools, said the county may not have half of the revenue they're supposed to get from the state to support the schools.

Because of the lack of a budget, the Shelbyville School District relies heavily on their property taxes, but Bence did ensure that schools would continue with a full staff.

Schuricht and Bence appeared on Friday's NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show live from our Shelbyville studios.
