Learn About the Levy
For the first time in 13 years, Mounds View Public Schools is asking residents to consider a levy increase. If approved on Election Day, the District will have more reliable funding to provide stable class sizes and consistent programs for students – for the next 10 years. If rejected by voters, schools will lose $7 million a year. Class sizes would rise, and programs would be cut. Click here to watch a brief video about the levy, and visit www.moundsviewschools.org/doneforadecade to learn more.
The School Board invites you to attend a levy informational meeting at Valentine Hills on Mon, Oct 14 at 6 p.m. in room 125. All are welcome to attend, ask questions and learn more about the levy.
