House Education Finance Chair Davnie Statement on Passage of School Referendums

Wednesday, November 3, 2021

St. Paul, MN- House Education Finance Chair Davnie released the following statement on the overwhelming support for increased operating levies across the state, following the 2021 municipal elections: 

“Yesterday’s election results demonstrate what we already knew: Minnesotans care about each other, and they care about the quality of education their communities’ students can access. Even so, we cannot continue to fund public education with a band-aid approach as we consider how to make the critical investments our students and families need now and long term. Every child in our state deserves the opportunity to succeed and thrive, no matter which zip code they live in. House DFLers will continue to listen to Minnesotans and uphold these values we all care about for our students’ future.” 

The 2021 operating levy and bond results have been provided by the Minnesota School Board Association and can be accessed here.
