What are the details of the statutory authority for waiving the requirement to reserve the revenue?
There are many questions on this point because the statutory language on this issue is minimal: “A district may annually waive the requirement to reserve their basic revenue under this section if a majority vote of the licensed teachers in the district and a majority vote of the school board agree to a resolution to waive the requirement” (Minnesota Statute 122A.61). The absence of specific statutory guidance means there are no “right” answers to most of the questions on this topic.
