She said there was a program several years ago 39 <br />called Triumph, and asked if this no longer exists. 40 <br />Todd LoFrese said Triumph no longer exists. He said Triumph changed firms several 41 <br />years ago, and then funding ceased. He said there are currently no options for students 42 <br />experiencing significant needs. 43 <br />Commissioner McKee asked if the $253 per pupil increase is exclusive of a possible 44 <br />request for an increase in district tax. 45 <br />Todd LoFrese said yes. He said the BOE voted to provide flexibility to the BOCC to 46 <br />increase the special district tax up to the amount needed to fund the request, which is outlined 47 <br />in the transmittal memo. 48
