School Board

Levy Referendum
The District 196 School Board is moving forward with plans to call for an operating levy referendum increase this fall that would allow the district to avoid up to $18 million in additional budget cuts and fund improvements to classroom staffing, increased mental health support for students and after-school activity bus transportation. The board reviewed an administrative recommendation at its June 24 meeting and approved a resolution calling for an operating levy referendum at its next regular meeting July 22.
The question on the November ballot is asking to revoke the existing operating levy of $940 per pupil, which was approved by district voters in 2013, and replace it with a new 10-year levy for $1,567 per pupil, an increase of $627 per pupil. The single ballot question would raise an additional $19 million per year, plus annual inflationary increases. The net tax impact of the proposed question would be $25 per month, or $300 per year, on the average-value home in the district, which is $286,500.

On Nov. 5, 2019, Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 residents will vote on whether to increase school funding by about $1.7 million. New funding would help the district sustain student support services and educational programming that meets student strengths and needs.
What will be on the ballot?
Voters will decide on one question which, if approved, would revoke two current voter-approved levies and replace them with one levy of $1,900 per pupil or the maximum allowed by state law (levy cap), whichever is less. Doing this would ensure the district receives increased funding as the state increases the levy cap.
Because the proposed levy would replace the district’s existing levies, approval would mean fewer elections would be needed in the future.
If approved, this would provide about $1.7 million in new funding for District 191 schools. This funding can be used only for day-to-day operating expenses, including retaining quality staff, maintaining student supports, transportation costs, utilities, classroom supplies and other operating expenses.
The additional funding would help:
District 191 will host Levy Information Sessions this fall to share information and answer questions from community members. The sessions will take place in different areas throughout the district.
Monday, Oct. 7 — 6:30-8 p.m. at Hidden Valley Elementary School, 13875 Glendale Rd., Savage, MN 55378.
Tuesday, Oct. 8 — 6:30-8 p.m. at Sioux Trail Elementary School, 2801 River Hills Dr., Burnsville, MN 55337.

The additional funding would help:
- Minimize (but not eliminate) budget cuts moving forward
- Protect wrap-around student support services, including counselors, mental health services and cultural liaisons to support achievement
- Support of the changes we began in 2016-17 to raise achievement for all our students and continue Vision One91
- District will still need to reduce spending to “right size” and respond to lagging state aid and special education cross subsidy
District 191 will host Levy Information Sessions this fall to share information and answer questions from community members. The sessions will take place in different areas throughout the district.
Monday, Oct. 7 — 6:30-8 p.m. at Hidden Valley Elementary School, 13875 Glendale Rd., Savage, MN 55378.
