# ISD 194 *School district in Dakota County, Minnesota* ISD 194 is a school district in Dakota County, Minnesota. The project's record carries it in one at-issue pair, AI-Dakota-083, filed under the section heading *VI. The Money* of the project's *Dakota Claims Exposure Matrix* (2026-09-02).[^1] The pair groups ISD 194 with three other Dakota County districts and their referendum results: [[ISD 191]], [[ISD 196]] and [[ISD 197]].[^1] According to that pair, ISD 194 has a $139.6 million bond on the May 12, 2026 ballot, with levies running twenty-one years.[^1] The pair records its sources as election results and self-published material from three domains: district196.org, ehlers-inc.com and electionresults.sos.mn.gov.[^1] The record assembled here does not include the district's own ballot language, a bond prospectus, or a certified result for the ISD 194 measure.[^1] ## Who - ISD 194 is one of four Dakota County school districts named in at-issue pair AI-Dakota-083.[^1] ## What - The pair describes a bond measure placed before ISD 194 voters, with levies running twenty-one years.[^1] ## When - The pair gives the ballot date as May 12, 2026.[^1] - The matrix that carries the pair is dated September 2, 2026, which is after that ballot date. It still describes the bond as "on the May 12, 2026 ballot" and does not record the outcome of the vote.[^1] ## How much - The bond amount is $139.6 million, as stated in the pair.[^1] ## In the at-issue record Pair AI-Dakota-083 sets the pending ISD 194 bond beside referendum outcomes in neighbouring Dakota County districts:[^1] - ISD 191 renewed a technology capital levy on November 5, 2024, by 65.76 percent.[^1] - In November 2023, ISD 197 passed a $731-per-pupil operating increase by 60.00 percent and a technology levy by 66.76 percent.[^1] - ISD 196 passed its 2023 bond.[^1] The pair closes with its own framing: "Voters approve; the approval is the only place they are consulted."[^1] This is the project's characterization in the at-issue record. It is not a finding of any court or agency. The pair is anchored to a March 2025 presidential action published by the White House on fraud, waste and abuse in federal payments.[^2] The pair gives its reason for that anchor as "the one instrument residents vote on is the bill, not the program."[^1] The record does not show that the presidential action names ISD 194 or any Dakota County school district.[^2] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki project, *Dakota Claims Exposure Matrix* (2026-09-02), at-issue pair AI-Dakota-083 (rank 83, section "VI. THE MONEY") — states the ISD 194 $139.6 million bond on the May 12, 2026 ballot with twenty-one-year levies, and the ISD 191, 196 and 197 referendum results. The pair records its underlying sources as district196.org, ehlers-inc.com and electionresults.sos.mn.gov, but none of those sources is among the record's citable URLs.
