The Mpls School Board is a totally independent board.  They have the power to raise their own levy to meet their budget.  I'm not sure, but I think there's a cap as to how much they can levy for.   Over and above that, they can go to the voters for the special levy - as they have done for the past ten years.  The Council and the Mayor have absolutely no control over the school board.
