GRAND RAPIDS, MN. (Northern News Now) - Voters in Grand Rapids decided on a
three-question school referendum on Tuesday.

Grand Rapids school leaders say state funding hasn’t kept up with rising costs
so they have had to cut staff, electives, and language programs.

Question 1: The Grand Rapids School District has proposed to increase its
general education revenue by $1,100.00 per pupil. The proposed referendum
revenue authorization would be applicable for seven years beginning with taxes
payable in 2024 and increase each year by the rate of inflation beginning with
taxes payable in 2025, unless otherwise revoked or reduced as provided by law.
Should the increase in the revenue proposed by the Grand Rapids School District
be approved?


A Flourish chart


Question 2: The Grand Rapids School Board has proposed a capital project levy
authorization in the amount of 4.287% times the net tax capacity of the school
district. The proposed capital project levy authorization will raise
approximately $2,500,000 for taxes payable in 2024, the first year it is to be
levied and would be authorized for seven years. The estimated total cost of the
projects to be funded over that time period is approximately $17,500,000. The
additional revenue from this authorization will provide funds for the
acquisition, installation, replacement, support, and maintenance of software,
educational software, software licenses, computers, improved technology
equipment, networks, infrastructure, the costs of technology-related personnel
and training; the purchase and replacement of school buses and school-related
transportation vehicles; and the acquisition of curriculum, textbooks, and
materials. The projects to be funded have received a positive Review and Comment
from the Commissioner of Education. If School District Question 1 is approved,
should the capital project levy authorization proposed by the Grand Rapids
School District also be approved?



A Flourish chart


Question 3: The Grand Rapids School District has proposed to increase its
general education revenue by $300.00 per pupil. The proposed referendum revenue
authorization would be applicable for seven years beginning with taxes payable
in 2024, and increase each year by the rate of inflation beginning with taxes
payable in 2025, unless otherwise revoked or reduced as provided by law. If
School District Question 1 and School District Question 2 are approved, should
the increase in the revenue proposed by the Grand Rapids School District also be
approved?


A Flourish chart


If it passed, residents would have had to pay an additional $47 per month in
taxes if they owned a $300,000 house.
