(KNOX) – The East Grand Forks School Board heard a post mortem analysis on Monday regarding the three ballot measures voters rejected last week.
Rob Brown of Nexus Solutions says that voters across Minnesota approved only eight out of 24 bond requests.
Voters rejected the district enacting a $600,000 per year operations levy, a $26.4 million bond for maintenance projects and a $10.9 million bond for a preschool addition at New Heights Elementary School.
Voters explained their concerns about the preschool addition creating competition with daycare providers in the city, as well as affordability concerns, property reassessment notices and fraud in state government.
Superintendent Kevin Grover says that there will likely be cuts for the next budget cycle, but that all budget decisions are decided by school board members.
The district could hold a special election May 12 to present another referendum to voters, but the board did not make a decision on that possibility.
