Question 13 - Allegan Public Schools Operating Millage Proposal

This proposal will allow the school district 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 and restores millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Allegan Public Schools, Allegan County, Michigan, be renewed by 17.6118 mills ($17.6118 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 2 years, 2027 and 2028, and also be increased by.5 mill ($0.50 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 2 years, 2027 and 2028, 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 $4,678,635 (this millage is to renew millage that will expire with the 2026 levy and to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will be levied only to the extent necessary to restore that reduction)?
