In a recent meeting of the Triton Regional School District held on August 3, 2025, school officials approved a significant funding request for a feasibility study aimed at evaluating options for the reconstruction or replacement of the Triton Regional Middle and High School. The approved amount of $1.7 million will be drawn from the district's stabilization fund, allowing the project to bypass the need for a local ballot initiative.

The decision was supported by a unanimous roll call vote, with all members present expressing their approval. Matt, a key speaker during the meeting, explained that the funding figure was based on data from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) regarding similar projects from 2014 to the present. He emphasized that this amount would be split between the design team and the Owner's Project Manager (OPM), with the latter being represented by Jim Cobb, the vice chair of the committee.

The feasibility study is crucial as it will explore various options for the aging school facilities located at 112 Elm Street in Byfield, Massachusetts. The district anticipates that the MSBA will reimburse a portion of the costs based on their established reimbursement percentage, which was noted to be around 47%. This reimbursement process is expected to be efficient, with the MSBA committing to issue checks within 30 days of bill submissions.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting a collaborative effort among school officials to address the pressing needs of the district's educational infrastructure. As the Triton Regional School District moves forward with this feasibility study, the community can expect further developments regarding the future of its middle and high school facilities.
