Operating Levy Referendum
Resolution
Whereas the Forest Lake Area School District serves residents of the City of Scandia;
Whereas state per pupil education funding has not kept pace with inflation;
Whereas Minnesota school districts use voter approved operating levy funds to offset
lagging state per pupil funding; and
Whereas the Forest Lake Area School District has not had an increase in its levy funds for
twelve years; and
Whereas the Forest Lake Area School District has an operating referendum on the
November 6th ballot to revoke and replace its current levy of $462 with an
increase of $825 per pupil for a total operating levy of $1,287 per pupil; now,
Therefore, be it Resolved, that the Scandia City Council:
1. recognizes the need and importance for the Forest Lake Area School District’s operating levy
increase;
2. urges the residents of the City of Scandia to learn about the District’s referendum question by
attending one of seven community conversations, visiting the District’s website, and carefully
reviewing the material provided by the District; and;
3. urges the residents of the City of Scandia to vote in the November 6th election.
