The summer season means vacation for students, however for the Taylorville School District it means getting ready for the coming school year. Part of these preparations are making sure the facilities are in good shape, and the district has had a number of projects to their buildings to ensure they're in good shape for the fall.

Taylorville Superintendent Dr. Gregg Fuerstenau appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show and discussed these renovations, including work being done to the West Gym at Taylorville High School.

Other projects include work on the science wing at THS, as well as work done to Taylorville's Central School.

Fuerstenau noted that the projects are currently on time, and haven't encountered any major problems so far.
