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.

🏈 SPUD FOOTBALL IS BACK! 🏈

Grab your orange and black, bring the energy, and get ready for Friday night lights at the stadium! We’ve got big plays on the field, delicious bites on the sideline, and a few key updates to make sure your game day is seamless from kickoff to the final whistle.

Here is what you need to know before you head to the gates:

🍔 Spud Alley: Head over to the street space between MHS and the stadium before the game for food trucks, vendors, and the Unity Council Tailgate!

2026 Opening Enrollment Report

Have you heard about the Permanent School Fund Constitutional Amendment coming to your ballot this fall? 🎓

This measure asks Minnesota voters whether to update how revenues from the state's existing school trust fund are distributed to local school districts. The best part? It will NOT raise your taxes or cost Minnesotans any extra money. It simply allows local schools to receive a larger portion of earnings generated by existing state assets.

Stay tuned every Tuesday and Thursday as we break down what this means for our schools!

📲 Learn more on our ISD 152 Permanent School Fund Webpage.
