Fertile-Beltrami Hosting Operating Levy Referendum Public Meeting on Tuesday
Fertile, MN — The Fertile-Beltrami School District is holding another community informational meeting this coming Tuesday, November 1st to provide more information about their upcoming Operating Levy Referendum on the November 8th ballot. An operating levy, also known as a referendum revenue request or excess operating levy referendum, is a procedure which allows school districts to raise additional funds to supplement regular state education funding. Fertile-Beltrami Superintendent Brian Clarke notes that this isn’t a new operating referendum, but a renewal of the current one set to expire at the end of next year.
The operating levy accounts for $491.74 of per pupil funding. More information is also available on the Fertile-Beltrami School website, www.fertilebeltrami.k12.mn.us.
