2008 Operating Referendum Information
A special election has been called and will be held in and for Independent School District No. 742 (St. Cloud), Minnesota, on November 4, 2008, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. to vote on the following three questions:
Question 1 - Approval of Revenue Increase for Teachers, Activities, Transportation, and Operations
The School Board of Independent School District No. 742 (St. Cloud), Minnesota has proposed to renew the existing property tax referendum of $97.23 per pupil that is scheduled to expire after taxes payable in 2008 and increase its general education revenue by an additional $457.77 per pupil for a total of $555 per pupil. The proposed referendum revenue authorization would be applicable for six (6) years unless otherwise revoked or reduced as provided by law.
Question 2 - Approval of Revenue Increase for Funding Equal to Minnesota Average
The School Board of Independent School District No. 742 (St. Cloud), Minnesota, has proposed to increase its general education revenue by an additional $160 per pupil. The proposed referendum revenue authorization would be applicable for six (6) years unless otherwise revoked or reduced as provided by law. The passage of Question 2 shall be contingent on the passage of Question 1.
Question 3 - Approval of Revenue Increase for Additional Student Curriculum and Services

The proposed referendum revenue authorization would be applicable for six (6) years unless otherwise revoked or reduced as provided by law.

Projected Annual Dollar Increases
The projected annual dollar increases for typical residential homesteads, apartments, commercial-industrial properties, and most other classes of property within the School District are as shown in the table below.
For agricultural property (both homestead and non-homestead), the taxes for the proposed referendum will be based on the value of the house, garage and one acre of land. There will be no referendum taxes paid on the value of agricultural land and buildings. For seasonal recreational residential property (e.g., cabins), there will be no taxes paid for the proposed referendum.
The figures in the table below are based on taxes for the voter approved referendum levy only, and do not include taxes for other purposes. Click here to calculate your tax impact based on the value of your property.
