Building for Sustainable Excellence - St. Louis Park Public School District

School Board Members unanimously approved two ballot questions for the bond referendum and capital project levy at the April 12, School Board Meeting. Question one asks voters to renew and expand by $500,000 the Capital Project Levy for Technology and Question two seeks approval for a $136 million bond referendum. If both questions are approved, the owner of a St. Louis Park home valued at $331,800 (the median home value) would pay an additional $18.92 monthly or $227 annually in taxes.

Watch a detailed presentation by Director of Business Services Patricia Magnuson about the bond referendum projects and the capital project levy for technology.
