Unofficial Minnesota School Funding Votes Split: Breckenridge Approves $58 Million Plan, DGF Fails by 33, Moorhead Measures Reported Passed

Unofficial tallies carry immediate budget consequences for the affected districts.

Overview

  • Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton’s bid to add $500 per student in general education revenue failed 619–652 in an unofficial count, a 33-vote margin.
  • District officials in Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton warn the loss will mean fewer teachers, larger classes, cuts to electives and CTE, and strained building upkeep.
  • Breckenridge voters backed a $58 million modernization and consolidation plan, with unofficial results at 774 yes to 330 no, and a $600,000 capital projects levy included.
  • Education Moorhead and Superintendent Brandon Lunak reported both Moorhead operating and capital measures passed, preventing more than $5 million in planned cuts, though state-posted results were not yet available late Tuesday.
  • All results cited remain unofficial pending posting and certification, part of a broader day of school funding votes held by 70 Minnesota districts.
