The question, as printed on the ballot
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 revenue per pupil foundation allowance and renews millage that will expire with the 2027 tax levy. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of 19.8592 mills ($19.8592 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Goodrich Area Schools, Genesee, Oakland and Lapeer Counties, Michigan, be renewed for a period of 5 years, 2028 to 2032, 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 2028 is approximately $1,887,000 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2027 tax levy)?
A “Yes” vote means
A yes vote renews the district's 19.8592-mill operating tax limit on non-homestead property for 2028–2032, so it can keep levying 18 mills.
A “No” vote means
A no vote rejects the renewal; the current millage expires with the 2027 levy.
