We value our teachers and their commitment to our students now more than ever. While it may seem like the rest of the

world is getting back to normal, for teachers, this isn’t 100% th e case. Teachers are still juggling instruction with having to
sanitize classrooms, monitor masks, plan individual lessons for students who are quarantined as well as continue to be
extremel y flexible with schedules due to the rate of absenteeism not only of students but colleagues.
Through all of this, Shelbyville Central teachers are still providing a high-quality education to o ur students. They continue to
support students academically and emotionally, which is no easy task over the last year. As a result, they often neglect their
own needs to ensure that their st udents are the priority. Besides parents, teachers play the second most integral part in a
child’s life, which is why Shelbyville Central teachers and staff were awarded an unprecedented raise of between 7-12%.
Shelbyville Central Schools has so many dedicated educators and staff members that are committed to serving our students,
families and community stakeholders. As the end of the first semester approaches, we can look forward to the time when
discussions about Covid-19 are behind us.
