“I would like to thank the gentleman who saw that I was purchasing school supplies at Walmart and opened his wallet and handed me $20 to buy something for my class. Instead of cracking open our math books, the second graders graphed and ate Mnm’s. We appreciate his generosity and kindness.”

A request for a district operating millage renewal will be on the August 2, 2022 ballot. This millage does NOT apply to primary residences and other exempt property; it is only levied against properties considered “non-primary residence”, which are essentially businesses, industrial property, and second homes located in our school district. Operating millage revenue funds district "operations" including staff and programs for our students.
Should it pass, this millage will generate $686,535 for our district in 2023, which is approximately 12% of our district's 2022-2023 budget. We are required to levy the operating millage in order to receive our per pupil foundation allowance from the state.
If you have questions or need to hear more about this very important millage, please contact the district office. Be an informed voter on August 2nd!
