Voters approve Lakeville Area Schools referendum request for funding to staff and operate Highview Elementary, Question 2 denied 

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.
