VISITOR PRESENTATIONS. EASTERN CARVER COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT 112
REFERENDUM – DEEDEE KAHRING, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND
OPERATIONS.
Mayor Ryan: We have one scheduled visitor presentation so I invite you to the podium please.
This is the Eastern Carver County School District 112 Referendum. Welcome.
DeeDee Kahring: Well thank you. Thank you Madam Mayor, council members. Mr. Gerhardt
and Mr. Knutson, thanks for allowing us to be here to share some information about upcoming
referenda so I’ll just take a little time, along with Chris Hentges who’s here with us and Chris is
with our teaching and learning department so we’ll just provide you with a little bit of
information about the upcoming referenda and then we have a short video to show you. So as I
mentioned on November 5th Eastern Carver County Schools will present a referenda to the
residents of our community and a vote on 3 different items. You have a copy of our document in
front of you. We’ll just kind of go over that. So the 3 questions, Question 1 will be an operating
levy to increase support for student learning. Question 2 will be bond funds to address growth
and building maintenance needs. We’ll go over that as well. Levy to renew our support for
school security and technology. So the ballot questions, Question 1 the operating levy is an
increase to continue strong academic preparation of our students to prevent cuts to programs and
services. Maintaining our class size and assist with managing our growing enrollment. Question
1 needs to pass in order for Question 2 to pass, and I’ll explain that in just a minute. Question 2
is a bond referenda to build a new elementary school on district owned property that we
purchased with the last referenda. It’s also to include a fairly significant amount of it to address
deferred maintenance and to, deferred maintenance and building repair projects across the
district as well as building a new larger bus garage. Again this question can pass only if
Question 1 passes. Question 3 is a no tax increase renewal of our existing security and
technology. This levy is used to support the technology in our schools. The security systems.
Cameras. Our secured entrances. Our technology support and infrastructure in our schools. So
what you need to know that’s kind of on that right hand side of the page is really the district is
growing with our current demographic study and you’ve seen developments within your
community as well as the 3 other communities that we support, or that support us and that’s
Victoria, Carver and Chaska as well so 1,400 students on 5 years, that equates to about one new
classroom per month per year. So a lot of growth in the communities. Many of our elementary
schools are either at capacity or near capacity and we’re planning for the growth to meet the
needs of those students. Additionally the Question 1, the operating levy is to take into
consideration that State funding has not kept up with inflation. If it had kept up with inflation we
would be receiving about $6 million dollars per year more than we currently are so funding has
