BYRON, Minn. – Voters turned down a School Board request to increase general education revenue by $800 per pupil. The vote was overwhelming: 3,100 to 2,200 — 58% to 42%. Had it been approved, the referendum would have raised $1.9 million. The district has 2,300 students in four schools. The district already has cut its budget $1.5 million this school year.
