Summary
The board approved the district’s proportionate share of Intermediate School District 287’s long-term facilities maintenance levy: Edina’s share will be $143,737 for fiscal year 2027, representing a 75% increase over the prior year’s taxes payable.
Finance and operations director Mark Woodard told the board on May 5 that Intermediate School District (ISD) 287 is proposing total long-term facilities maintenance revenue of $1,702,120 for fiscal year 2027 (taxes payable in 2026). The intermediate district collects the levy across member districts to fund facility repairs for entities without taxing authority.
Woodard said Edina’s proportionate share will be $143,737 — a roughly 75% increase from taxes payable in 2025 — but the change is largely offset by a reduction in the district’s lease-levy revenue, producing an overall taxpayer difference of about $995 compared with the prior year.
Board member Michael Bergman, who represents Edina on ISD 287’s board, indicated he had reviewed and voted in concurrence with the intermediate district’s proposal during an earlier work session. The board approved Edina’s proportionate share by voice vote.
