Shelbyville High School’s athletic department has operated much of the current school year without an assistant athletic director.

The Shelbyville Central Schools board met Wednesday to approve personnel decisions. Superintendent Dr. Matt Vance stated he wanted to convene more frequently over the coming months to keep the board abreast of personnel moves.

As part of the approved personnel report, the board accepted the resignation at the end of the current school year of Loper Elementary School teachers Kathy Borowitz and Jessica Neff as well as Shelbyville High School teacher Derek Heim.

Assistant superintendent secretary Christie Nigh is retiring.

The board also approved Shelbyville Middle School fall coaching recommendations. They are:

• Heidi McIntire as eighth grade cheer coach and Aubrey Mohler as seventh grade cheer coach.
• Mala Chaney as girls soccer head coach and Seth Cunningham as girls soccer assistant coach.
• Grace Leffler as eighth grade volleyball head coach and Brittany Robbins as seventh grade volleyball head coach.
• Eli Veach as cross country head coach and Jeremy McIntire as cross country assistant coach.
• Doug Brown as football head coach with Josh Cord and A.J. Martzall as assistant coaches.
• Monica Cooper as boys tennis head coach and Matt Thomas as boys tennis assistant coach.

Dr. Vance outlined a projected timeline for current and upcoming projects on the school system’s various campuses.

The replacement of the track and the change from natural grass to artificial turf at Shelbyville High School’s J.M. McKeand Stadium was scheduled to begin Monday. That date has now been pushed back to May 15.

The parking lots at Shelbyville High School will get patch work and crack filling during the summer of 2023. Vance anticipates the parking lots will be repaved in 2024.

The west parking lot at Shelbyville Middle School will be repaved this summer.

Shelbyville High School’s tennis courts should get upgraded later this summer.

Renovation work at Loper Elementary and Coulston Elementary are progressing through phase two on schedule. Phase two is expected to be completed in early June with phase three to follow.

Shelbyville High School’s HVAC system has been going through an upgrade but the installation of a new chiller will be delayed until the fall.

Vance is currently pricing a new HVAC system for Hendricks Elementary School. The school is still utilizing its original HVAC system and is anticipated to get an upgrade in the summer of 2024.
