2026 Winter-Spring School District Referendum Results
It was a rough spring at the ballot box for rural school district bond referendums. Only three of eleven passed, 27%. One of those which passed was in Staples-Motley for a zero dollar increase; it was simply to extend the current tax rate. In comparison 67% of metro districts passed their bond referendums.
Here are the combined results from referendums held Feb. 10, April 14 and May 12 which are the winter-spring dates allowed in law.
| Rural/Metro | Passed | Failed |
| Rural | Montevideo, Osakis, Staples-Motley | Aiken, Chisago Lakes, Little Falls, North Branch, Princeton, Rushford-Peterson, Tri-City United, Windom |
| Metro | Wayzata, Lakeville | South St. Paul |
In addition, voters approved the consolidation of Carlton and Wrenshall school districts which had no tax impact on the ballot.
