Owatonna school board certifies preliminary tax levy at maximum allowed by law
Summary
The Independent School District 761 board unanimously certified a preliminary tax levy Sept. 23, 2024, approving a levy "in the maximum amount provided by law" to preserve the district's taxing authority while final figures are set ahead of a later adoption vote.
The Independent School District 761 School Board on Sept. 23 voted unanimously to certify a preliminary tax levy.
School Board member Timothy Jensen moved "that the Board certify a preliminary levy in the maximum amount provided by law," and Deborah Bandel seconded the motion, which the board carried by unanimous vote. The action preserves the district's authority to set a final levy within state limits later in the budget process.
Board officials did not present specific dollar amounts in the recorded motion. The certification is a procedural step required under state law to set a preliminary cap for the upcoming tax year; final levy adoption is typically scheduled after additional budget review and public notice.
