1999 Minnesota Statutes

     126C.44 Crime-related costs levy. 

    Each district may make a levy on all taxable property 
 located within the district for the purposes specified in this 
 subdivision.  The maximum amount which may be levied for all 
 costs under this subdivision shall be equal to $1.50 multiplied 
 by the population of the school district.  For purposes of this 
 subdivision, "population" of the school district means the same 
 as contained in section 275.14.  The proceeds of the levy must 
 be used for directly funding the following purposes or for 
 reimbursing the cities and counties who contract with the 
 district for the following purposes:  (1) to pay the costs 
 incurred for the salaries, benefits, and transportation costs of 
 peace officers and sheriffs for liaison services in the 
 district's middle and secondary schools; (2) to pay the costs 
 for a drug abuse prevention program as defined in Minnesota 
 Statutes 1991 Supplement, section 609.101, subdivision 3, 
 paragraph (f), in the elementary schools; (3) to pay the costs 
 for a gang resistance education training curriculum in the 
 middle schools; or (4) to pay the costs for other crime 
 prevention and drug abuse and violence prevention measures taken 
 by the school district.  The district must initially attempt to 
 contract for services to be provided by peace officers or 
 sheriffs with the police department of each city or the 
 sheriff's department of the county within the district 
 containing the school receiving the services.  If a local police 
 department or a county sheriff's department does not wish to 
 provide the necessary services, the district may contract for 
 these services with any other police or sheriff's department 
 located entirely or partially within the school district's 
 boundaries.  The levy authorized under this subdivision is not 
 included in determining the school district's levy limitations.
