2.28school district has certified under section126C.17, subdivision 9 , that a referendum will
2.29be held in the school district at the November general election, the county auditor must
2.30note next to the school district's proposed amount that a referendum is pending and that, if
2.31approved by the voters, the tax amount may be higher than shown on the notice. In the
