Good afternoon. As a reminder, tomorrow, August 4, 2026, voters in the Tri County school district will be asked to consider the renewal of a non-homestead operating millage. This state required proposal would renew an existing non-homestead operating millage for four years and would allow the district to continue receiving its full per-pupil foundation allowance from the state of Michigan. Polls are open tomorrow from 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM. Thank you and have a wonderful evening. Go Vikings!
