HOWARD LAKE, WAVERLY, WINSTED, MN – The future financial situation of the Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted school district hangs in the balance, as school board members plan for the proposed operating levy election this fall.
The ballot wording, the campaign timing, the polling location, and the type of information that is distributed all play a part in whether or not the nearly $1 million levy will pass.
At the school board work session meeting last Monday, the board decided to have three questions on the ballot.
The first question voters will be asked in November is if the school district’s existing referendum revenue authorization of $500 per pupil should be renewed for 10 years.
The second asks if the district should revoke an existing $50 levy and replace it with a $150 levy, for an increase of $100 per pupil.
The third proposes adding inflation to question number one.
