Willmar Public Schools Operating Levy Information - A Community Decision
Submitted by wps.media on October 12, 2011 - 6:45am
Aren’t Operating Levies Just for Extras? Since the 70’s the importance of operating levies to school districts across Minnesota has increased. In 1980, less than 20% of Minnesota districts relied on voter approved operating levies. In 2011, more than 90% of Minnesota districts rely on them to fund core academic programs. Almost 1/3 (113) of Minnesota districts are voting on a levy this fall.
Those numbers show operating levies funds are NOT used for extras any longer.
