Triton School Board Acknowledges Receipt Of Two IDOE Notices

BOURBON – Triton School Board on Monday, Nov. 9, approved the acknowledgement of two Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) notices the school corporation received. Superintendent Jeremy Riffle said Indiana law requires school corporations to spend at least 65% of state tuition support on teacher compensation for fiscal year 2026. Triton Schools spent 63.49% on teacher compensation. He said as a small corporation, retirements have a big effect on certified salary totals. When experienced teachers retire, they are typically replaced with teachers who have fewer years of experience and earn less, which lowers the overall salary spending even as individual teachers receive raises.

I know what’s next: cuts, consolidations and closures. Teachers will lose their jobs. Students will lose access to programs, transportation and maybe school itself. And shrinking communities will lose an anchor that moored them from the storm. Who is responsible? People will argue that districts are inefficient, though there’s very little evidence of that where voters said no. The reality is that state and federal dollars haven’t kept pace with the rising costs of education, including diesel for buses and food for school meals. Indiana has dropped from 15th to 38th in the nation in per-pupil funding. Cuts to Medicaid have also hammered schools, as it provides the core revenue stream for school nurses, psychologists, occupational and physical therapists, special education technology and mental health services. If schools are going to continue offering those services, they have to find a way to pay. So why doesn’t the
