📅 How is this plan different from last year's referendum?
👉 In 2024, the district asked voters to consider a capital projects levy to help fund curriculum, technology, and transportation needs. That proposal did not pass.
👉 Through community feedback, we heard that residents wanted more clarity on how the funds would be used and a more comprehensive plan to meet our district’s needs. This November, we’re proposing an operating levy and a capital projects levy shaped by that feedback.

❓ Do other Minnesota districts rely on local funding?
🏫 Yes! Nearly 70% of school districts across Minnesota rely on funding from local voter-approved levies. The state of Minnesota provides the majority of funding for local schools, but this is often not enough to cover the costs of student services, educational programming, technology, and building needs.
