Text of measure
The question on the ballot:
| This proposal will allow the school district to levy the statutory rate of 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. Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all taxable property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Gladwin Community Schools, Gladwin and Clare Counties, Michigan, be increased by 0.8215 mill ($0.8215 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of two (2) years, 2012 and 2013, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in the 2012 is approximately $194,351 (this millage is to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963)? |
