The Taylorville School Board of Education held its monthly meeting last night at 6 PM at the administration building across from Taylorville High School.
All but one school board member were present for the meeting, Dr. Ronald Mizer. After approval of minutes from the July 11th and 19th meetings, the board addressed and approved August claims, the treasurer's report, and the overnight trip requests for the FFA program.

The board revisited the construction project discussion as revisions are being made to option three, a combination of athletics and performing arts. Approval from the focus group has been reached.

A presentation was given by Brian Sample Taylorville High School Baseball Coach, and Chip Donahue. They were seeking approval for a turf baseball field for the Taylorville Varsity Baseball Field. Sample described the completely privately funded project for the field that has differences of height that reach six feet in some parts.

The motion was tabled for the next board meeting.

The Next board meeting is set for August 14th with times subject to change.
