It's an off-year election, but school districts around Minnesota have some big questions for voters to consider when they head to their polling places on Nov. 5.
More than 30 districts are looking for voter approval to take on debt for major building and remodeling projects. That includes White Bear Lake Area Schools, which is seeking to pass what would be the largest school bond referendum in state history, at $326 million.
