On Monday night, the Taylorville Board of Education held their monthly regular meeting. They discussed multiple topics regarding the school district, but first, they accepted the $20,000 grant from Monsanto to pay for the STEM Labs. Superintendent Dr. Gregg Fuerstenau shared his thoughts about Monsanto, and how they have generously provided opportunities for current, and future students.

There has also been a lot of question about the future of Stonington, and the district moving to K4. That was addressed Monday night, and the board has decided to put K4 on hold for now, and focus on what needs to happen to the Stonington building first. Fuerstenau also shared comments on the board’s decision, and what will happen moving forward.

The motion to make that decision regarding K4 and Stonington passed unanimously. The board is hoping to make a firm decision by January.

The Taylorville Board of Education holds their regular meeting on the second Monday of each Month.
