Taylorville School District welcomed kids to the classroom Wednesday for the new school year.  

Superintendent Dr. Chris Dougherty is excited to have them back.

Dr. Dougherty thanks the crew that helped keep the schools ready for students. 

Dr. Dougherty hopes the addition of some smaller white buses will address the transportation need. 

When kids arrived at North School, they noticed some new furniture. Namely, Dr. Dougherty says they replaced the desks. 

Dr. Dougherty also says that the district is reviewing its e-learning plan in case of weather emergency. The district is holding a public hearing for the e-learning plan at 5:30 August 23rd. The building committee meeting will follow at 6 p.m. 

Dr. Dougherty appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
