Operating Millage Proposal Information

THANK YOU VOTERS FOR APPROVING THE OPERATING MILLAGE!!!
Non-Homestead Operating Millage Proposal
If approved, the operating millage proposal would renew the existing levy on non-homestead properties and provide $13.5 million in district funding.
The 18-mill levy costs the average homeowner zero dollars ($0 per year).
All Michigan school districts must levy 18 mills on non-homestead property to receive their FULL foundation allowance, the primary funding source for Michigan schools.
On November 20, 2023, the St. Louis Public School District Board of Education passed a resolution to submit a proposal for an election on Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024.
If approved, the proposal would allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on non-homestead property in order for the school district to receive its FULL revenue per-pupil foundation allowance.
