UPDATE 4/9/25 – St. Cloud voters have approved two separate multi-million-dollar projects in the school district.

A $50 million upgrade to Apollo High School passed by a vote of 4,017 to 2,446. Those upgrades include the addition of a secure entrance to the building, as well as a combined gym and storm shelter, as well as improving educational spaces.

Voters also agreed to another $15 million to build a new multi-purpose athletic facility, which passed by a vote of 3,503 to 2,945. The facility will include a full-size turf field and walking track, which will be available year-round for both students and community members.

The owner of a $250,000 home in the district can expect to pay another $40 per year in property taxes.

Tuesday’s results are expected to be certified on April 16, according to the district.

INITIAL STORY 4/8/25 – A special election is underway Tuesday in St. Cloud, where voters will decide if two proposed multi-million-dollar projects will advance.

The St. Cloud Area School District is asking for $50 million for improvements to Apollo High School’s security, technical education classrooms and a fine arts program.

If voters approve the measure, the district says a homeowner whose property is valued at about $250,000 would see their property tax go up by $2.41 per month.

The district is also asking voters to approve $15 million for a new indoor athletic facility.

District officials say if that is approved, taxes would increase by another 92 cents per month for a $250,000 home.

Polls are open until 8 p.m. Check back for updates.
