The Taylorville School Board of Education met Tuesday evening; approving bids for bonds and the hiring of a new architectural firm. The Board did however require an executive session before determining their choice of architect. The session would last roughly 45 minutes. Even after lengthy discussion behind closed doors, the Board members present could not decide as a complete body.
All Board members were present expect for Tom Finks. The decision came down to two firms, ‘FGM Architects’ and ‘Graham and Hyde Architects Inc.,’ with Graham and Hyde being the approved bid with a 4-2 vote. Only Ron Mizer and Ann Chandler voted no.
After wording on the bond resolution was changed in a previous meeting, the Board looked to move forward with 15 million dollars worth of general obligation alternate bonds. As they have done in the past, Taylorville School Board will use Bernardi Securities as the bond’s underwriter.
During the consent agenda, the Board approved minutes from June, claims, the treasurer’s report, and more. During the Superintendent’s Report, Bruley notes that Taylorville High School will soon open to the public, with plans being made for an open house.
