The Triton Regional School District has secured a significant funding adjustment for its middle and high school programs, following a recent school committee meeting. The committee agreed to a new enrollment baseline of 895 students for grades 7 through 12, reflecting an increase from the previous figure of 845. This adjustment accounts for returning school choice students and new developments in the area.
For grades 6 through 12, the enrollment figure has been set at 1,070, which also includes considerations for school choice additions and local development. The committee expressed satisfaction with these numbers, noting that they exceeded initial expectations. The original request for 1,000 students for grades 7 through 12 was deemed unrealistic, but the committee successfully negotiated a favorable outcome.
In a key procedural step, the committee voted to authorize representatives Brian and Linda to sign the necessary certification documents, ensuring that the district can move forward with these enrollment figures. Linda will act as the duly authorized representative of the school committee in this process.
This decision is expected to enhance educational resources and opportunities for students in the Triton Regional School District, reflecting the community's growth and commitment to supporting its schools.
