On Tuesday evening, the Taylorville CUSD #3 Board of Education sat down for their regular monthly meeting for May, at the Board of Education office. The School Board heard public comments including statements from Adam Vocks and four FFA students on another strong showing from their chapter. Additionally, 6 retiring teachers were present and honored for their years of service, with more than 10 total faculty leaving the district. Board members quickly approved the consent agenda and heard presentations on an amended budget and TJHS handbook, before moving to new business.

Adam Vocks spoke to the Board following the Tommy Award Show held this last Saturday. Vocks wanted to highlight the efforts of 17 total students and talked the importance of the awards themselves.

A motion regarding Taylorville High School seniors that are eligible to graduate was approved. Seniors that qualify will get to walk the stage on May 16th and be recognized for all their achievements.

When discussing approving a 15 million dollar bond for the purpose of improving or repairing school buildings and facilities, questions arose around the wording of the resolution. The item has been tabled for now and will be discussed again in June.

The Board and members of the public also heard from the superintendent during her report. Bruley is thankful for the all the hard work from faculty and staff in the last year and looks forward to a “restful summer.”

Also approved by the Board was their final 24-25 school calendar, a contract with Christian County CEO, approved GIG Energy as their new provider, and the dissolving of the Co-Curricular and Public Relations committees.

The next TCUSD #3 Board of Education meeting is slated for Tuesday, June 10th.
