Wayzata School District Referendum Fact

Referendum Fact of the Week

 

The demand to attend Wayzata Public Schools has never been greater. The district's K-12 resident student enrollment is expected to increase twice as fast in the next 10 years as it has in the past decade. 

 

This growth and need for more capacity is due to: 

  • More births and students moving into the district 
  • More housing-1,200 new homes have been built in the district over the past four years and at least another 1,600 new homes are expected to be built in the next four years 
  • More students already in the schools- most district schools are already at capacity, including the high school, and incoming classes from the district's three middle schools increase each year 
  • Projections for Wayzata High School suggesting growth by as many as 900 students in the next 10 years 
  • The State's recent decision to fund all-day Kindergarten that will create the need for 14-16 additional elementary classrooms 

 

In addition to creating the need for additional learning spaces, this growth also puts increasing pressure on our building infrastructure, most notably our security, safety and technology systems.

Wayzata Public Schools to host Community Referendum Meeting

Residents living in the Wayzata Public School district are invited to attend a referendum information meeting on January 22 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Wayzata High School Auditorium. Representatives from the district will be on hand to answer questions about residential tax impact and provide information on why there is a need for expansion due to residential growth in the district.

 

The meeting will provide information about the two questions on the February 25, 2014 election. The questions on the ballot are as follows:

 

  • Question 1: Request to approve $109.645 million in bond funding to expand Wayzata High School, build a new eighth elementary school and upgrade safety, security and technology infrastructure districtwide.

 

  • Question 2: Request to renew the existing technology levy, which funds technology equipment and support districtwide with approximately $2.7 million annually.

 

For more information about the referendum, visit www.wayzata.k12.mn.us/referendum, email [email protected] or leave a message on the referendum hotline at 763-745-5050. For information on where to vote, visit http://pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us for your specific polling location.
