St. Paul Public Schools are asking voters to support a $37.2 million annual tax increase to maintain existing programs, including arts, trades, and non-English language classes. Superintendent Stacie Stanley has met with residents to secure funding, saying the increase is necessary for a stable budget and avoiding cuts to vulnerable programs. The tax hike would add $309 to the median home’s school taxes in 2026, but mayors and state reps support the measure.
