Triway Levy Facts
If history has told us anthing, it is that nobody is going to save Triway Local Schools except us.
Not the state or federal governmnet, not the major foundations or education think tanks,
not those in other school districts nor those in position of leaderships in our government.
We have to take matters in our own hands. We have to use this opportunity to help ourselves,
and most importantly the children in our community.
Triway is asking voters to approve a Four Year 0.75% Earned Income Tax for
the purpose of funding continuing operating expenditures.
This issue will be on the ballot on Tuesday, March 6, 2012.
In four years from approval, voters will have the opportunity to vote on this issue again.
(PLEASE NOTE: There will be a replacement levy on November's ballot to RENEW the current property tax amount!)
