Aug 6 Ballot – Madison District Public Schools Operating Millage Proposal
Madison Heights, MI – Voters in the Madison School District have a proposal on the Aug. 6, 2024 ballot. Here is the language:
This proposal will allow the school district to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance.
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Madison District Public Schools, Oakland County, Michigan, be increased by 2 mills ($2.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 8 years, 2024 to 2031, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2024 is approximately $311,140 (this millage is to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will be levied only to the extent necessary to restore that reduction)?
