State Aid Levels the School Funding Field | Minneapolis News
Description
New state aid lets school districts cover up to half their operating levy costs—without raising local property taxes—thanks to a recent law. But only districts with at least 15% seasonal property, like cabins, qualify. This helps places like Walker-Hackensack-Akeley and Pequot Lakes avoid tough ballot fights and keeps tax bills flat for residents. The trick? Voters might still see “tax increase” on the ballot, so schools are working hard to explain how this funding is actually a win-win for families and students alike.
