Byron Pride. Future Ready.

Fall 2025 Referendum

The Byron Pride-Future Ready referendum provides a plan to address the district’s needs.

Byron Pride

Close-Knit. Family Friendly. Committed to Excellence. These are just a few phrases that come to mind when people are asked to describe the Byron community and schools. Excellent schools need the support of their communities to flourish. The Byron community understands and lives this sentiment every day.

Our community's commitment to Byron Students, Teachers, and Classrooms has never been stronger—and now we need your thoughtful consideration.
On November 4th, Byron voters will decide on two important ballot measures: an Operating Levy and a Capital Projects Technology Levy - a Levy for Learning. These proposals emerged from extensive conversations with families, educators, and community members who care deeply about our students' educational experience.

Byron Public Schools Receives Among the Lowest State Funding Levels in Minnesota

Byron Public Schools receives among the lowest state funding levels in Minnesota—a reality that affects every classroom, every program, and every student we serve. While we've watched costs rise year after year, our revenue hasn't kept pace, creating genuine challenges for the educators and families who make Byron special.

Over the past two years, we have carefully reduced expenses by $3 million, making difficult decisions to preserve what matters most: the quality education our students receive every day. All learners in Byron Public Schools deserve financially stable schools to Learn. Share. Innovate. Inspire.


Preparing Students to be Future Ready

If approved, these levies will:

  • Maintain class sizes

  • Offer a full range of programs that help students discover their passions

  • Attract and retain high-quality and experienced teachers and staff

  • Provide up-to-date technology that prepares students for tomorrow’s opportunities, and preserves school safety and cybersecurity
