Operating Millage Election

Why We Need Need It?

• NO COST INCREASE TO HOMEOWNERS

• When the district millage falls below 18 mills, we lose general fund operational dollars

• The past 3 years have had rollback each year, declining from 17.9838 mills to 17.3755 mills

• Assuming another 5% rollback in 2023, estimated reduction to 17.1255 mills

• This millage will allow us to recover full per student operational dollars authorized by Proposal A

• The “extra” two mills are held in reserve to combat future rollbacks.

• Muskegon Public Schools Operating Millage Renewal election is not until 2024

• These dollars are not replaced with other funds if not approved.
