Please take the time to vote! Voter turnout is very small for school elections, let's show the citizens are aware.
Referendums on the Ballot
Belle Plaine Public School District, ISD #0716-01 is proposing a single question bond referendum on November 4, 2025, that would authorize $65 million in bonding authority to convert Oakcrest Elementary into a High School and convert the High School into an elementary facility.
Eastern Carver County School Board previously unanimously approved putting an operating referendum in front of voters in the November 4, 2025 election according to their post on Facebook.
If the referendum is approved, the average homeowner ($500,000 home) would see a tax impact of $23 per month, similar to the range of increase approved by voters in the previously approved operating referendum in 2021. Such that $23/month x 12 months = ~$276 additional taxes annually/home.
More information can be found on the district webpage https://www.district112.org/vo...
The district also has an FAQ webpage.
We understand this additional property tax burden will significantly impact people on tight budgets and fixed income. Are we getting the value for the funding to D112?

Did you know property taxes are also going up for the County and cities? Monthly home payments are going to increase a lot with this passing.
There does not seem to be a plan for what the school actually will use this for and how it will improve the enrollment? How does this improve the reading scores?
Check out the Survey of the week. Do you agree that girls locker rooms and sports divisions should be reserved for biological girls?
Waconia Public Schools D110 will have a vote for an operating levy. The request would be equivalent to $27/month for a home worth $450,000.
School board members and district administration have been working tirelessly to address budget shortfalls caused by a variety of factors.
The district faces serious financial challenges that could negatively impact the quality of an ISD 110 education. In order to preserve current class sizes, sustain the high-quality educational programs our community values, and continue attracting and retaining outstanding teachers and staff, additional long-term funding is essential. You can calculate your tax impact here.
To maintain what matters most, school leaders are asking residents to consider an operating levy referendum - a levy for learning - in the November 4 General Election. The School Board approved the plan to request a $3 Million annual operating levy.
Where and how to vote, absentee, early, or on election day is listed on the school district website at General 2 — Waconia Public Schools - 2025 Operating Levy Referendum.

WHAT IS A PRECINCT CAUCUS?
Precinct caucuses are meetings run by Minnesota’s political parties. They are the first in a series of meetings where parties may endorse candidates, select delegates, and set goals and values (called party platforms).
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN A CAUCUS?
To participate, you must be eligible to vote in the next general election and live in the precinct. You also must generally agree with the principles of the political party hosting the caucus.
Attending Caucus and becoming a delegate, gives you a special standing as a member in the party. Your participation matters!
