This amendment will allow us to move forward with the $275,000 to purchase land that was approved at the last board meeting.

Shelbyville Central and Community High Schools will also get $150,000 each for their athletic facilities as soon as they let Dr. Garrett know how they want to use the money so she can get it in the correct line item. That will be brought before the board for approval. They are to follow proper procedures, permits and anything over $50,000 will need an architect involved.
