Voters Approve Capital Project Levy & Bond Referendum in Aug. 9 Election

Thank you St. Louis Park voters for your support of the capital project levy to support technology staff, systems, and equipment, and bond referendum to restore, repair and update facilities in the August 9 Primary Election.

With all 15 precincts reporting, question one regarding the capital project levy for technology passed with 72.79 percent of the vote. Question two regarding the bond referendum passed with 70.46% percent of the vote.

Our schools and centers support all learners and help us achieve our mission to “see, inspire, and empower each learner to live their brilliance in an environment that centers student voice and experience to create racially equitable learning that energizes and enhances the spirit of our community.”

Results will be final after the school board meeting on August 16 when the Board votes to canvass the results. Additional information about the bond referendum projects and timeline for completion will be shared in the coming weeks.
