operating levy

The Paynesville school district has a levy question on next week's ballot.

Voters in the Sartell-St. Stephen school district voted yes to a new operating levy Tuesday night.

The general elections are next week, November 5th, and the Sartell-St. Stephen School Board is working hard informing residents about the upcoming operating levy put on this years ballot.

The St. Cloud Area School Board has voted to rescind a planned vote in November on the extension of an operating levy. Back in May the board voted to bring the levy extension to the voters on the November ballot, but after discussions with new Superintendent Willie Jett, they decided to delay the vote.

For the Sauk Rapids-Rice school district, the fourth time was the charm. Voters this week passed an operating levy for $1.7 million a year for the next six years. Levy questions had failed three previous times in recent years.

Sauk Rapids-Rice residents have an operating levy question on their ballot again this year. It will ask for $1.7 million a year for six years.

The Sauk Rapids-Rice school board is considering asking voters again to approve another operating levy. District residents voted down two levy questions last November.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) is election day in Minnesota. Several area schools are asking their residents to raise their own taxes in the form of operating levies and/or bonding referendums.

Voters in the ROCORI school district will be voting on two levy questions on Tuesday. Superintendent Scott Staska says, because both questions are asking voters to continue levies that are already in place, property taxes will not increase.

Voters in the Sauk Rapids-Rice school district are being asked to go to the polls on November 8th. The district has put two operating levy questions on the ballot.
