How it started
Minnesota School District Proposes Major Operating Levy Increase
What happened
The Alexandria School District in Minnesota has proposed a referendum to change its operating levy authorization. The proposal seeks to revoke the existing authorization of $595 per pupil and replace it with a new authorization of $2,225 per pupil. This new authorization would be subject to an annual increase based on inflation and would apply for ten years.

Why it matters
The proposed levy change represents a substantial shift in local school district funding. If approved, it would increase the tax authorization per student, providing a long-term financial resource for the district. Additionally, a Permanent School Fund Amendment is scheduled for consideration by Minnesota voters on November 3, 2026.
