St. Cloud District #742 Information Session - Monday 10/26

On November 3, 2015, St. Cloud School District residents will be asked to vote on a Referendum that, if passed, will provide $167 million for a new Technical High School, a fully renovated Apollo High School, technology needs and safety provisions for students in the district.

This referendum will mean a 10-11% increase in commercial/industrial property taxes, which chamber members will be required to pay over 20 years.

One important fact to note, is that if the $167 million referendum does not pass, the district is facing $140 million of critical maintenance and replacement of dilapidated facilities over the next 10 years.  About $125 million of that amount will need to be levied out of necessity and without a citizen vote, so that we can continue to use the existing Technical and Apollo High School buildings as they exist currently.

Our Chamber is providing two information sessions for our members to get answers you need to make an informed vote.  Please register for the session you plan to attend.
