The question, as printed on the ballot

This proposal will replace millage that expires with the 2026 tax levy and will allow the intermediate school district to continue to levy area special education millage previously approved by the electors. Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in the Copper Country Intermediate School District, Michigan, be increased by 0.2903 mill ($0.2903 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 20 years, 2027 to 2046, inclusive, to provide funds for the education of students with a disability; the estimate of the revenue the intermediate school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2027 is approximately $601,033 from local property taxes authorized herein?

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote lets the Copper Country Intermediate School District levy 0.2903 mill for 20 years (2027–2046) for the education of students with disabilities, replacing an expiring levy.

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the millage.
