🎧 Tune into the latest episode of the Spudcast! 🎧
Executive Director of Community Engagement & Public Relations Brenda Richman sits down with Superintendent Brandon Lunak to discuss the Permanent School Fund Constitutional Amendment appearing on your ballot this fall.
In this episode, Superintendent Lunak breaks down:
👉 What the Permanent School Fund is and how it benefits local public education.
👉 Why modernizing this distribution formula is on the ballot this November.
👉 What our community needs to know before heading to the voting booth.
Here is the key takeaway: This amendment will NOT increase your taxes or cost Minnesotans a single extra penny. It simply allows local school districts to receive a higher payout from existing, state-managed endowment assets.
▶️ Catch the full conversation on our YouTube channel and get informed ahead of early voting starting September 18th!

Why are voters deciding on school funding this November? 🗳️
Because the Permanent School Fund rules are written into the Minnesota State Constitution, updating the funding distribution requires approval from voters statewide.
Here is what you need to know:
1️⃣ It modernizes how funds reach local classrooms.
2️⃣ It requires ZERO tax increases—no property, income, or sales tax changes.
Find out how this helps local education by reviewing the details on our ISD 152 Permanent School Fund Webpage or check the state legislative overview on the Minnesota House Public Information Services Summary.
