Taylorville School Board passed its budget for the next fiscal year at its monthly board meeting Tuesday night. 

Superintendent Dr. Chris Dougherty says the district’s finances remain in good shape. 

The budget does include a defecit for the new fine arts and sports complex building, which involves the demolition of the east wing at the high school. 

Dr. Dougherty says that the district is working on it. 

The construction of the new complex presents a sponsorship opportunity for local business.

The school district is ready to construct two different plans. The first, dubbed, “Plan A Plus,” is the most feasible. The district is working towards more square footage with Plan D. 

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