Dear TFS Community, The unofficial results from yesterday's election are in. We were honored to have two quality candidates for our Board of Trustees and welcome Christian Potts back on our Board. We sincerely thank Emily Kennedy for her time and interest in the TFS. The general mill levy for both the elementary and the high school did not pass with approximately 37% in favor and 63% voting against. We are naturally disappointed with the levy election results, as these funds would have greatly impacted our district's ability to provide needed resources and services for our students and staff. It is clear that strong communities provide for strong schools and we are fortunate in Three Forks to have a caring and involved community. The district understands that the current uncertainty with our national economy has created challenges for everyone and greatly appreciate the support of those who voted in this election. The TFS will continue to work hard to honor our taxpayers through responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. Our continuing goal is to provide the highest quality of education for our students, as these children are the future of Montana and it's communities. On behalf of the Three Forks Schools, I want to sincerely thank those who voted in support of our schools. Dr Rhonda Uthlaut Superintendent Three Forks Schools
