Albert Lea Area Schools administrators presented additional information during the Albert Lea school board meeting about the proposed referendum that is on the ballot this election. Passage of the referendum question would revoke the district’s current measure of $573.74 per pupil and replace that with an authorization for $714.67 per pupil. The district is bringing the question before voters as the existing levy expires in 2022. The increase would go towards technology for students learning from home during the pandemic.
