Overview: In a recent meeting, the Paynesville Area School Board discussed several topics, including a constitutional amendment on the November ballot that could affect the distribution model of the permanent school trust fund. This amendment aims to increase the payout percentage to school districts, potentially adding $25,000 for Paynesville without raising taxes. The board emphasized its role in educating voters about the amendment, noting that non-votes would count as no votes, which could lead to confusion.
