126C.44 SAFE SCHOOLS LEVY.
Each district may make a levy on all taxable property located within the district for the
purposes specified in this section. The maximum amount which may be levied for all costs under
this section shall be equal to $27 multiplied by the district's adjusted marginal cost pupil units
for the school year. The proceeds of the levy must be reserved and 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 in services in the district's schools; (2) to pay the costs for
a drug abuse prevention program as defined in section 609.101, subdivision 3, paragraph (e), in
the elementary schools; (3) to pay the costs for a gang resistance education training curriculum
in the district's schools; (4) to pay the costs for security in the district's schools and on school
property; or (5) to pay the costs for other crime prevention, drug abuse, student and staff safety,
and violence prevention measures taken by the school district. For expenditures under clause (1),
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.
