The Taylorville School Board met on Tuesday evening. The School Board had some mementos for Dr. Chris Dougherty who announced her retirement earlier this year. Dr. Dougherty also recognized the FFA program and a few other successful programs. Board member Tricia Marburger announced her resignation from the board immediately.

The board thanked Marburger for her many years of service.  

Under new business, the board spent some considerable time discussing grants.  Wendy Dulakis, business manager, says that almost all funds have increased since Dr. Dougherty arrived and the School is in a good place moving forward financially.

Under new business, the board tabled the annual banking proposal.  There was a lengthy discussion under the grants section of the new business. The conversation involved the reading program and how the grants were set up.  The question was about a teacher and where the allocation of money that was already set up for the grant could go.  Dr. Ron Mizer, voiced his concern over the board getting involved with the administration work.

An amended motion was approved with a promise to look at how to get more reading time in the future within the grant. Other contracts were approved including CTI, Durham Bus Service, and General Supply Bid Results. Outgoing Taylorville Superintendent Dr. Chris Dougherty gave her final superintendent's report thanking everyone for a successful school year and praising all the administration and staff who made that possible.

The board went into closed session to discuss personnel.  Dr. Mizer voted no on going into closed session stressing that there was no need. 

The next Taylorville School Board meeting is set for Tuesday, July 26th with students expected back on August 16th.
