MOORHEAD (KFGO/KVRR) — Moorhead Area Public Schools is asking the community to vote on a two-question funding referendum this fall due to lagging state funding.
The district says the money will go to stabilize the budget, protect high-quality education and invest in critical operational and capital needs.
Question One proposes an operating levy to generate $4.37 million each year for 10 years to fund day-to-day operations.
Question Two proposes a capital projects levy to generate $1.5 million annually for 10 years.
For the owner of a median-value home of $250,000, approval of question one would result in an estimated property tax increase of $18.91 per month and approval of question two would result in an estimated property tax increase of $4.83 per month beginning in 2026.
The special election will take place Nov. 4 and early voting begins Sept. 19.
