Unofficial 2017 Operating Levy Referendum Results

Please view the unofficial results from the operating levy referendum below. The results will be certified by the Board of Education at a later date.

Referendum Information

On Nov. 7, Lakeville Area Schools is asking voters to consider renewing a 10-year operating levy which is set to expire.  Renewing the 2007 referendum would translate to $692.75 per pupil in funding the first year, which supports existing educational programs and services. The question allows for increases based on inflation over the 10-year levy. Property taxpayers in the Lakeville Area Schools district will not see an increase in their school district portion of property taxes if the question is approved.
