BRANCH COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – A handful of Branch County residents will be voting on millage proposals in the Reading and Colon school districts next Tuesday, August 8.
The Colon proposal asks voters to allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance. It would renew the millage rate of just over 18.5 mills for ten years. The millage rate is set to expire with the 2023 tax levy.
It’s estimated the Colon school district will collect over $1-point-3 million in 2024 if the millage is approved.
The proposal for voters in the Reading School District is asking for a millage increase of 1-point-5 mills for eight years through 2030.
It’s estimated the school district will collect over $30,000 if the millage is approved and levied in 2023. This millage is to restore funds lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963.
