BLISSFIELD, Mich. — Lenawee County voters approved a proposed levy renewal for Blissfield Community Schools on primary ballots on Tuesday.
With 1,486 total votes, the proposal was approved with 58.5% voting yes and 41.4% voting no, according to unofficial election results.
The five-year, 18-mill operating levy would net the district $2.1 million.
Read the full text of the renewal proposal below:
"This proposal will allow the school district to continue 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 full 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 Blissfield Community School District, Lenawee and Monroe Counties, Michigan, be increased by 18 mills ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 5 years, 2024 to 2028, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2024 is approximately $2,100,000 (this is a renewal of millage that expired with the 2023 tax levy)?
