2007 School Levies

As approved by the legislature and the governor, the [2007 education funding] bill provides a meager 1.37 percent increase for the 2008-09 school year and a portion of that funding is dedicated to special education and other categorical programs. Not surprisingly, nearly 100 school districts across the state will hold an operating referendum election in November – the second highest total on record according to the Minnesota School Boards Association.

"Parents and community members across the state have passed hundreds of levies to support their schools, but property taxes were never meant to be a primary source of school funding."

—State Representative Mindy Greiling, March 2007

PASSED—In this listing means as least one levy question was approved. Open the MSBA files for detailed results.
