Triad Community Unit #2

NOW IS THE TIME Triad Middle School has served us for 65 years, but it’s overcrowded, outdated, and costly to maintain. Escalating repair and maintenance costs make replacement a more responsible and cost-effective solution than renovation. The bond proposal funds a new school with NO tax rate change. It’s time for a new Triad Middle School! Watch our video to see the needed improvements at TMS. Watch now & share! Learn more at: tcusd2.org/2025bond https://youtu.be/PMC3OKAoWeU
