Sartell-St. Stephen ISD 748 families,

At our October 28th meeting, the Sartell-St. Stephen ISD 748 School Board voted to bring two facility improvement projects to voters in a special election scheduled for February 11, 2025.

The projects will appear on the ballot as separate questions. Question 2 is dependent upon Question 1’s approval (if Question 1 does not pass, Question 2 cannot pass):

• Question 1: Riverview Intermediate School - Indoor Air Quality/HVAC
  Proposal to issue general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $21.93 million for the betterment of school facilities including indoor air quality upgrades.
• Question 2: Sartell High School - Physical Education/Outdoor Athletic Facilities
  Proposal to issue general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $8.485 million for betterment of school facilities including outdoor improvements to physical education spaces and athletic fields.

If both questions are approved, the estimated tax impact on a home valued at $300,000 in the Sartell-St. Stephen School District would be approximately $109 a year; here is an example of how each question would impact taxpayers on a monthly and annual basis:

• Question 1/Riverview: $6.54 month ($78.49 annual) 
• Question 2/Sartell High School: $2.54 month ($30.44 annual)
• Both Questions 1 and 2: $9.08 month ($108.93 annual)

To learn more about the projects, please attend one of the following information sessions; more will be added to our calendars:

• Monday, December 2 at 9:30a - Sartell Senior Connection at the Sartell Community Center
• Tuesday, December 10 at 4:30p - Superintendent Rivard at Sartell High School
