Minnesota School Referendums Split: DGF Fails by 33 Votes as Breckenridge, Moorhead Report Wins

Results remain unofficial pending state certification.

Overview

  • Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton’s bid to add $500 per student failed 619–652 in an unofficial count, a 33-vote margin.
  • The DGF district says the defeat will mean further teacher reductions, larger class sizes, cuts to electives and CTE, and maintenance challenges.
  • Breckenridge voters backed a long-planned school modernization and consolidation initiative with an unofficial 70–30 split.
  • Moorhead leaders and an advocacy group said operating and capital levies passed based on email confirmation, with official posting still pending.
  • The measures were part of 70 Minnesota school district referendums, many structured as ten-year levies, with Moorhead’s passage expected to avert more than $5 million in cuts.
