Anoka-Hennepin School Board addresses petition to increase taxes, frustrations remain

Anoka-Hennepin School Board publicly discussed a parent-backed petition to increase taxes for school funding after over 3,000 signatures were collected. The board did not take an official stance or outline next steps, leading to frustration from the parent group, Parents for Good Anoka-Hennepin, which insists further delays harm students. The district’s lawyer clarified that only the board can approve a funding referendum, conflicting with the group’s legal advice.
