School questions on the November 3, 2026 ballot in Minnesota

83 school questions in 63 Minnesota school districts are listed for November 3, 2026 in the Minnesota Secretary of State ballot-question list. What this list covers: Every question the Secretary of State’s list labels a school district question. The list repeats a district’s question under each county the district spans; each question is shown once. A question is joined to its district by the district number in the list’s label, and only where the question’s own text names that district. The list’s one statewide question, a proposed constitutional amendment titled “Increasing funding to school districts”, is not a school district’s question and is not listed here. Source: the Minnesota Secretary of State ballot-question list, published by the Minnesota Secretary of State, retrieved October 5, 2026. It is the Secretary of State’s list of ballot questions for the November 3, 2026 State General Election, as posted in the state’s election results system before the election. It is not a certified ballot and not a result: a question withdrawn, corrected or added after the list was saved is not reflected here. About the amounts. The Secretary of State’s list has no amount column, and no amount is read from a question’s text, so no question has a headline figure. Any dollar amount, rate or number of years is in the question’s own text, which is shown in full. This page does not compute what any question would add to a tax bill. Each question is shown with the title and the full text the Secretary of State’s list prints. The list has no type column: the type shown is assigned by DistrictFacts from the question’s own title and text, by a fixed rule, and is not the Secretary of State’s. No result is published here until official results are published after the vote. This page does not say how to vote.
