Meet Brandi Bruley, the new Superintendent of Taylorville School District. Superintendent Bruley comes to Taylorville School District after 15 years as Principal of North Elementary School, serving as Director of Curriculum for the Illinois State Board of Education, and previously worked as Superintendent at Waverly Community Schools.

Bruley says she is inheriting great things in Taylorville School District with the strong Tommy TV broadcast class, dedicated Future Farmers of America, hardworking performers and athletes, and passionate educators. 

To find direction and a framework for the future of the Taylorville School Board and District Bruley says the past months have been spent meeting with the board members and hearing what is working and what is not.

A hot topic for Taylorville High School is the building renovations. Superintendent Bruley says that the board receives weekly reports from their architects. Currently, foundation work is being completed along with floors, and ceilings for the band room, and sewer installation. Bruley says the expected finish date is at the end of February.

Bruley hopes to further develop literacy in Taylorville students as the Illinois Association of School Boards has identified academic areas where schools can improve.

Public input and opinions from parents are an important factor to Superintendent Brandi Bruley and as a former educator, principal, and administrator, a student-first approach will be taken to make decisions.

Superintendent Bruley signed a five-year contract with the district in December of 2023.
