The Taylorville CUSD #3 Board of Education sat down for their regular monthly meeting for September on Tuesday night. All board members were present except for Dr. Ron Mizer. Budgets and bonds continued to dominate the meeting agenda, with the proposed budget being passed by a 6 – 0 vote. This time the conversation around bonds shifted to ‘working cash bonds,’ the Board of Education would be able to use these dollars in any established fund. All members were in agreement on a 3.5 million amount, and voted to approve the motion 6 – 0. This item was only the intent to issue the working cash bonds, further discussion will take place in the coming months.

Kendall King, CPA for King’s Financial Consulting, broke down the working cash bonds for board members and their possible plans for them.

After further discussion, the financial committee is looking at shorter terms and less money utilized rather than taking the full lump sum in one payout.

The budget saw minimal changes as expected and received a 6 – 0 vote in favor of approving the motion. Bruley explains those changes made and where the approved budget must go from here.

Bruley would share her superintendents report before the meeting adjourned. She shared that a very special guest will be making an appearance at the district at the end of the month.
