The $2 Million Rumor
Over the next few weeks, we’re sharing quick facts about the proposed opt out for the Mount Vernon School District. Our goal is to give you clear, accurate information so those eligible to vote can make an informed decision on September 9.
💬 You heard the school has $2M sitting in savings?
❌ Not true.
There can be a tendency for misunderstandings about Mount Vernon School District's finances. Clarifying these misconceptions is important for informed decision-making about the opt out.
**Misconception #1 "The district has $2 million in savings that should be spent before raising taxes."**
While Mount Vernon School District does have nearly $2 million in its Capital Outlay fund balance, South Dakota law (SDCL) strictly limits how these funds can be used. There is no "savings account" containing unrestricted funds available for general operations. The district is only permitted to transfer up to 45% of annual Capital Outlay revenue (not the fund balance) to the General Fund.
This transfer capability has already been budgeted for the 2025-2026 school year and is insufficient to cover the entire projected deficit.
