WHY NOW?

Triton Public Schools surveyed taxpayers in June-July of 2025. The results showed that the majority were in favor of the $650,000 tax increase.

Due to inflationary costs and funding gaps, we are facing a significant budget challenge. After budget reductions to right size with declining enrollment, we are facing difficult decisions.

Our unreserved fund balance is below the board approved level. We have been proactive by reducing our budget but we have needs to maintain programming and high quality teaching and learning experiences in a safe environment.

Our current tax rate lags behind area schools and in investment is needed at this time.
