Spring Lake Park Public Schools ISD #16

Vote Yes on School District Question 1

Operating Levy | Spring Lake Park Public Schools ISD #16

The question on the ballot includes two steps:

Step 1 increases the operating levy by $550 per student starting in 2026 with a tax impact of less than $18/month on an average home value of $350K.
Step 2 increase the operating levy by an additional $380 beginning in 2029 with no net tax impact ($0/month). The district has timed this to coincide with expiring debt to avoid additional taxes. This will bring the total of the operating levy to $930.

This approach minimizes the impact on taxpayers and generates funding for our schools when it’s needed.

Shakopee Public Schools ISD #720

Vote Yes on School District Questions 1 and 2

Operating Levies | Shakopee Public Schools ISD #720

Question One asks for a tax-neutral operating levy that would provide $5,000,052 in new annual revenue. This is considered tax-neutral because it would replace the $5,160,455 in taxes from construction debt that will be paid off in 2025.
Question Two asks for an additional $310 per pupil in operating levy on top of Question One. This would provide an additional $2,500,026 in annual operating revenue and would bring the school district to its maximum operating levy. For an averaged priced home in Shakopee, this would equate to $8.71 a month. Question Two can only pass if Question One also passes.
