Triton board unanimously approves hires, handbook and meal-price increases

At its meeting, the Triton School Corporation board approved a series of routine personnel and operational actions by unanimous votes. The board accepted a resignation and a transfer for bus-driver staffing, approved summer-school instructional assistants and certified summer teachers, approved multiple internal staff reassignments and new hires for classroom positions, and confirmed a teacher-mentor appointment.

The board also approved the 2026–27 elementary student/parent handbook with mostly clerical changes. Separately, the board approved changes to meal prices for the 2026–27 school year: elementary breakfast will increase by $0.25, elementary lunch by $0.45, high-school breakfast by $0.25 and high-school lunch by $0.50; adult breakfast and staff pricing remain unchanged. The motions to approve personnel items, handbook and meal-price changes were each moved and seconded by board members and passed 5-0.

The board approved loaning a special-purpose bus to the Church of Christ to transport Triton students to CIY camp June 21–26; the church will pay fuel costs. Board members also reported standard summer maintenance and campus projects including ceiling-tile work, gym-floor sanding and track resealing, and noted summer-school enrollment of just over 70 elementary students.

Who moved the measures: motion records in the transcript show first-name movers and seconders (for example, the resignation/driver reassignment was "moved by Kevin, seconded by Steve"); all recorded votes were unanimous ("Motion passes 5-0"). The transcript does not provide full last names for several board members; the article uses the names as presented in the meeting record.

What happens next: these approvals are final as recorded in the meeting minutes excerpt; the district continues scheduled summer projects and registration for the 2026–27 year on July 29–30.
