Anoka-Hennepin parent group pushing for property tax referendum to halt school staff budget cuts
A parent group in Anoka-Hennipin School District is pushing for a property tax referendum to prevent school staffing cuts, supported by a 3000-signature petition. The district plans to cut $22 million from its budget, including 75 positions like social workers and counselors, prompting legal challenges over a 2009 state statute that restricts referendum placement via voter petitions.
