"I am immensely proud of the quality education we provide to our students. However, our district is facing financial challenges that must be addressed to ensure we can continue delivering the education, programs and opportunities students deserve and our community expects. This is why the November referendum is a critical decision for the future of our schools." – Mike Domin, School Board Chair
This November, make your voice heard on this important community decision. Learn more about the proposed operating levy and how its impact on our students, teachers and staff, and schools at RangerNationStrongFoundation.org

Students in Lego League are working hard to code their robots to complete as many challenges as possible on the challenge mats. Students will practice and code for months before they compete at a tournament against other teams. The teamwork among students has been remarkable to watch as they teach each other what they know about coding and work together to improve their robots. #code #lego #GoCIGo
Did you know that over 70% of Minnesota school districts use operating levies to support their schools? Crosby-Ironton School District does not have an operating levy, meaning our district receives less funding for our students and schools. Learn how this November's referendum, if approved by voters, would provide additional funding to help ensure high-quality education at RangerNationStrongFoundation.org/plan
