Horsepower has sweetened the deal for Triton High school students to attend classes this year.
Superintendent Donna Burroughs said the school board accepted a donation Monday night as part of this year’s perfect attendance prize.
“We accepted an automobile gift from a local automotive dealer who has given us a car to give away to a high school student who has perfect attendance,” announced Burroughs. “That will be given away at the end of the school year, right before they do finals.”
The school board also started discussion on building projects.
“We need to do a roof at the high school, a new heating and cooling system at the elementary school and we need to add on a gym facility. So, we’re starting that project. Construction will be complete sometime toward the end of 2018 or early 2019.”
Four retirement letters were also given to the school board members Monday night. Burroughs said the retiring teachers have been a part of education for a total of over 114 years.
