On November 3, Kasson-Mantorville School voters will be asked to support a $500 per pupil operating levy to support the day-to-day operations of the school district.

The District has looked carefully at all expenses before turning to taxpayers for additional support. They have already made the following reductions to address the budget challenge:

Aligned teaching & support staff positions to enrollment

Reduced non-student facing positions

Increased class sizes

Reduced department and building budgets

Delayed maintenance project and facility updates

Delayed curriculum, technology, and bus purchases

Restructured administrative positions

On November 3, Kasson-Mantorville School voters will be asked to support a $500 per pupil operating levy to support the day-to-day operations of the school district.

The need for additional funding is the result of increasing costs, unfunded mandates (new state and federal mandates continue to increase district expenses without additional funding to cover the costs), and enrollment changes (the District has a decline in enrollment, and this means less money for the District).

The primary way a school district can increase operating revenue is through an operating levy. 72% of Minnesota school districts, including most of our neighboring school districts, have a voter-approved operating levy. Kasson-Mantorville does not. The last voter-approved operating levy the District had expired in 2014.

The proposed increase of $500 per pupil will generate an additional $1 million per year. This would balance the District’s budget and maintain programs and services.
