明尼苏达州选民通过修宪案 逾206万票赞成增加公立学校拨款不加税
明尼苏达州选民在11月3日选举中以压倒性多数通过一项州宪法修正案，同意增加州永久学校基金向公立学区的拨款，而无需提高个人所得税或房产税。
根据州务卿办公室公布的非官方计票结果，赞成票为2068163张，反对票为666630张。修正案将于2027年7月1日生效，届时各公立学区按学生人均获得的基金收益分配将随之提高。
永久学校基金源于州政府信托土地收益，由州投资委员会负责投资管理，修正案调整的是基金收益的分配安排，并不改变基金本金。州内多个学区表示，新增拨款将用于日常教学开支。
同一天选举中，全州多地选民否决了不少地方学区提出的增税提案。修正案的支持者称，这是以存量收益改善教育投入的办法。下一步，各学区将按新规测算2027至2028学年可获得的具体拨款额度。
Minnesota Voters Approve Constitutional Amendment to Raise Public School Funding Without Raising Taxes, With More Than 2.06 Million Yes Votes
Minnesota voters overwhelmingly approved a state constitutional amendment on Nov. 3 to increase distributions from the state's Permanent School Fund to public school districts without raising individual income or property taxes.
Unofficial results from the Secretary of State's office showed 2,068,163 votes in favor and 666,630 against. The amendment takes effect July 1, 2027, when per-pupil distributions of fund earnings to districts will increase.
The Permanent School Fund is built from earnings on state trust lands and is invested by the State Board of Investment. The amendment changes how fund earnings are distributed and does not change the fund principal. Several districts said the added money will go to day-to-day instruction.
On the same day, voters in many places around the state rejected local school tax proposals. Supporters called the amendment a way to improve education funding from existing earnings. Districts will next calculate their expected distributions for the 2027-28 school year under the new rules.
