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 2026 tax levy. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of 18.0614 mills ($18.0614 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 Hemlock Public School District, Saginaw and Midland Counties, Michigan, be renewed for a period of 4 years, 2027 to 2030, 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 2027 is approximately $3,108,320 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2026 tax levy)?

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote renews the 18.0614-mill non-homestead operating tax limit for 2027–2030 so the district can keep levying 18 mills.

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the renewal; the millage expires with the 2026 levy.
