School board association reports more school districts considering referendums
The Minnesota School Board Association reported today (Aug. 17) that about 20 more school districts than last year are considering referendums this fall.
According to the association’s referendum survey completed today, some 62 school districts compared to 42 last year are weighing placing a referendum on the ballot.
Some 279 school districts out of 340 responded to the survey.
Because school districts have until Sept. 11 to make a decision, the 62 number will likely change, the association notes.
According to the association, the following local districts are considering referendums: Anoka-Hennepin, Becker, Big Lake, Buffalo-Hanover-Sunburg, Cambridge-Isanti, Centennial, Lakeville, Milaca, Mora, North Branch, Rush City, St. Francis, and South St. Paul.
