In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Park Rapids Area Schools asks voters to approve a referendum revenue authorization, which is extra general operating money that voters approve for the district. It comes from a local property tax and, in some districts, partly from state aid. The authorization would add $1,111.09 per pupil in general education revenue for ten years starting with taxes payable in 2027, unless revoked or reduced as provided by law. The ballot notes that a YES vote is a vote for a property tax increase. A YES vote approves the increase. A NO vote means it is not approved.
