Three questions will address  district's enrollment growth and funding needs

At Monday's School Board meeting, the Board unanimously approved putting a referendum before voters with a three-question ballot on Nov. 5, 2019:

• Q1: An operating levy increase to help bridge our budget gap, continue the strong academic preparation of our students, prevent cuts to programs and services, maintain class sizes and manage growing enrollment.  
• Q2: A bond request to build a new elementary school on district-owned land in Chaska, address deferred maintenance needs across the district and build a larger bus garage on a new site. Question 2 can pass only if Question 1 is approved.
• Q3: A no-tax increase renewal of our existing security and technology levy, which supports school security systems, technology for students and staff, and related professional development and support.
