The question, as printed on the ballot

To renew the millage passed in 2018 for a ten (10) year period, shall the Schoolcraft Community College District, (consisting of the Clarenceville, Garden City, Livonia, Northville, Plymouth-Canton and part of the Novi public school districts) be authorized to continue levying this millage with Headlee override, which restored the 1986 voter-approved rate of 2.27 mills (about $2.27 per $1,000 of taxable valuation), which shall be assessed for ten (10) more years (2029 through 2038, inclusive), without further reduction by Section 31 of Article IX of the 1963 Michigan State Constitution, for operating purposes of Schoolcraft College. If approved, there would be no change in the current millage rate for the Schoolcraft Community College District. This renewal is estimated to generate $50,760,711 in 2029.
