2018 Levy for Learning

  • Levy for Learning The Sartell-St. Stephen School Board of Education asked the community to continue their commitment to education by supporting a Levy for Learning in November 2018. The District is beginning the next phase of their long-term Facilities Master Plan that the Community Schools Planning Committee presented to the School Board in the Fall of 2015. The School Board approved the Plan in January 2016.

    Community members were invited to attend tours of the new Sartell High School construction site and/or a community presentation to find out more about the 2018 Levy for Learning.
