Triton School Committee recommends $1.7M budget for feasibility and design plan

The Triton Regional School District took a significant step forward during its recent meeting on July 9, 2025, by recommending a budget of $1.7 million for feasibility and schematic design to the School Committee. This funding aims to support the district's ongoing projects and ensure that essential planning can proceed effectively.

The meeting also highlighted the importance of a robust communications plan as the district prepares to engage with a designer and an Owner's Project Manager (OPM) in the coming months. Members discussed the need for clear and timely communication to keep the community informed about project developments. Learning from experiences in neighboring districts, the committee emphasized the necessity of transparency to avoid any surprises as the project progresses.

As the district gears up for the next phase, which includes selecting a design team in November, there is a focus on establishing a communication strategy that can effectively convey updates and milestones to stakeholders. The potential costs for this communication effort could vary significantly, prompting further discussions on budgeting as the project evolves.

In addition to these key topics, committee members acknowledged the ongoing work within the district, noting that progress continues even during the summer months. They expressed a commitment to keeping the community informed about developments and achievements, reinforcing the message that the district is actively working towards its goals.

Overall, the meeting underscored the Triton Regional School District's proactive approach to planning and communication, setting the stage for successful project execution in the near future.
