Description:
All school districts must certify a proposed levy to the home county auditor by September 30th every year. Since school board action is required to approve the proposed levy before the deadline to make changes to the proposed levy certification, the school board can certify the proposed levy at the 'maximum' level which will allow for any corrections/changes in the levy totals between now and December's final certification to be made without recertification. The final levy certification in December will require a specific dollar amount. The deadline for submission of the proposed levy certification form to Ramsey and Hennepin Counties, as well as MDE, is September 30, 2026.
It is recommended that the School Board of ISD282 certify the proposed Levy for taxes payable in 2027 as a 'maximum' levy amount, as presented.
