Around 70 school districts across Minnesota have referendum votes on Tuesday

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — Tuesday is election day and Minnesota School Boards Association says 70 school districts have referendums on the ballot, amounting to $1.6 billion in potential tax levies.

The association points to a number of factors behind the rise in school referendums including inflation, state Paid Family Leave requirements and uncertainty over federal funding.

Among the school districts hoping for a positive outcome on Tuesday night in our area are Moorhead, D-G-F, Breckenridge, Badger, Roseau and others.

In Minnesota, most polling locations will open at 7 a.m. on Tuesday and all polling locations will close at 8 p.m.

Anyone in line to vote by 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote.
