Technology Levy Renewal
Election Day coming up Tuesday, Nov. 5
If you are a District 191 resident, renewal of the district’s technology levy will appear on your ballot Tuesday, Nov. 5.
The technology levy provides about $4.6 million per year to support classroom technology, learning devices (Chromebooks) and programs (Schoology and SeeSaw), technology safety and security systems and technology support staff.
Because it’s a renewal of an existing levy, there will be no tax increase if it’s approved.
You must be 18 years old on Election Day and a resident of District 191 to vote. Early voting can be done by mail or in person. Visit mnvotes.org to learn more about how to vote and to find your polling location.
To view a sample ballot and find other information on the technology levy, visit isd191.org/referendum.
