Three area school districts held special elections on Tuesday, and we have the results.
- Waldron Area Schools Sinking Fund Millage Proposal failed by an 84 to 114 vote.
The board of education was looking to authorize a levy of a millage not to exceed 1 mill for a period of 6 years, 2019 to 2024, inclusive, to create a sinking fund for the construction or repair of school buildings, for school security improvements, for the acquisition or upgrading of technology and all other purposes authorized by law.
- Morenci Area Schools Proposal passed by a 70 to 20 vote.
This Operating Millage Renewal 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.
- Onsted Community Schools Bond Proposal passed by a 822 to 512 vote.
The district will now borrow the sum of, at most, $12,800,000 for partially remodeling, furnishing and refurnishing, and equipping and re-equipping school facilities; acquiring, installing and equipping school facilities with instructional technology; erecting, furnishing and equipping additions to the high school building; purchasing school buses; and developing, improving and equipping athletic facilities and the site.
The estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2019, under current law, is 1.10 mills, for a 0.31 mill net increase over the prior year’s levy.
All voting results have been verified by the Lenawee County and Hillsdale County (Waldron Schools vote) Boards of Canvassers.
