The strategic plan for Triopia Community Unit School District #27, spanning 2025-2030, is structured around five core areas: Student Achievement, Programs and Services, Facilities, District Finance, and Community and District Relations. It aims to provide a solid educational foundation and prepare students for post-graduation life, develop and promote inclusive youth programs, ensure safe and modern learning facilities, maintain fiscal stability through long-term financial planning, and enhance communication and community involvement in district activities.

A public hearing is scheduled to discuss a proposed property tax levy increase for 2023. The corporate and special purpose property taxes are proposed to increase by 22.52% over the previous year, and the total property taxes are estimated to increase by 21.58%.

The agenda includes consideration of approving the appointment of a board member, a review of board committees for appointment, and consent items such as previous minutes, expenditures, financial reports, transportation reports, and activity accounts reports. Further discussion will involve approving a vehicular hazard area, the Risk Management Plan for FY26, the amended district budget for FY25, a lunch price increase for FY26, and a one-year renewal with Turf Tank. Additional items include approving baseball/softball field upgrades, a resolution to abate the Working Cash Fund and transfer it to the Transportation Fund, candidacy of a board member for IASB President, student and extracurricular handbook updates for the 2025-2026 school year, and a second reading of PRESS Policy Issue 118. An executive session is scheduled for personnel employment matters, followed by action items and discussions on other business, communications, announcements, and FOIA requests.

The strategic plan of Triopia Community Unit School District #27 aims to foster student success and achievement through rigorous curriculum, strong attendance, and various extracurricular opportunities. It focuses on providing professional development for faculty, maintaining open communication with the community, ensuring financial stability, and maintaining safe learning environments with equitable access to technology.
