On Nov. 7, 2023, voters in the Lakeville Area School District 194 approved Question 1, an operational levy request to staff and operate the new elementary school, Highview Elementary. The vote was 55.6% yes to 44.4% no (unofficial results: 5,398 yes votes, 4,312 no votes). This amounts to about $4 per month for the average homeowner ($465,000 home value). Voters denied Question 2 on the ballot, however, which was an operational levy request to expand K-12 mental health, behavioral and academic support, and the means to attract and retain highly-qualified staff.
