The Taylorville School Board met on Tuesday evening and approved the building blocks of the performing arts center.  Taylorville Daily News will have a full story write-up on this update later on this week, but there were several other important things to note from the monthly meeting. The Taylorville High School Band overnight trip was approved for Nashville.  The Spring Musical Actors and Actresses swung by to let everyone know to come see the show “All Shook Up,” March 26-28,  

Superintendent Goals for 2026-2027 were approved.  FOIA Requests concerning CT Mills, Sunlight Access, and Michael Henry were discussed.  Several employees were announced that they were honorably let go at the end of the school year due to a reduction in force including Trista Wiseman, Natalie Howard, Jessica Johnson, Monica Haines, Emily Leers, and Allison Hansen.  Gabrielle Manasco, Paige Williams, Ryan Griffiths, and Doug Bowsher were also released upon dismissal of Professional Educator Licensed Employee. 

The Fiscal Year 2027 calendar was approved, most notably from that is the changing of 2:30 dismissals and that they will be ending after frustration from parents. 

After executive session, it was announced that there was a motion to deny the retirement revocation letter. That motion passed. There was approval of reclassification of Megan Tryon from SIS Coordinator to New Combined Title of SIS Coordinator and Accounts Payable Coordinator effective December 2026.  Superintendent Brandi Bruley explained the budget breakdown.

Superintendent Bruley gave her report-which focused on the budget.

Again, stay tuned to Taylorville Daily News for the latest updates on the Performing Arts Center as we will have a full story on that development but the board did approve going forward with the first stages of the project Tuesday night. The next school board meeting is set for April 14th.
