Question:
Why does the Three Forks School District continue to run operational levies?
Answer:
TFSD attempted to run operational levies in 2023, 2022, and 2019, all of which failed. In 2017 the District was successful in a levy of approximately $200,000. Prior to that, the last attempted levy was 2009. Due to this, the District is far below surrounding Districts in their local operating levy comparisons. Check out the link below for more information.
