IT’S TIME TO UPDATE MARINE ELEMENTARY Marine Elementary School is 68 years old. It needs essential upgrades and renovations due to its age and decades of wear and tear. The way we educate students has changed drastically over the years. Renovations would include new learning spaces that would provide Marine students with the same educational experiences as other Triad elementary students. We can improve schools with NO tax rate increase! Watch now & share! Learn more at: tcusd2.org/2025bond https://youtu.be/cJ4t0zbbtyQ?si=F_ueIQn5MJdc1fTV

OUR PLAN TO KEEP TRIAD STRONG Triad schools have critical needs that must be addressed. Our schools have many out-of-date conditions that do not support today’s teaching and learning needs.

If approved the bond proposal will: ✅ Replace Triad Middle School ✅ Renovate & Expand Marine Elementary ✅ Improve Career & Tech Classrooms ✅ Add District Auditorium at Triad High School ✅ Improve Safety & Security at All District Schools ✅ Continue the District’s Commitment to Responsible Financial Planning Learn more at: tcusd2.org/2025bond https://youtu.be/zKP8HDRTyTQ

NOW IS THE TIME Triad Middle School has served us for 65 years, but it’s overcrowded, outdated, and costly to maintain.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
