As you may be aware, a NO TAX RATE INCREASE RENEWAL of the building and site millage for a period of ten years is on the May 6, 2014 ballot.  This money may not be used for salaries, operating expenses or equipment.  If this fund was not present, we would need to divert operating dollars from classroom and co-curricular programs to facilities repair and safety upgrades.

Here is a link to a story on the request for a renewal written by School News Network reporter Charles Honey:

Attached  is a list of "frequently asked questions" regarding the ballot proposal.

I am asking you to share this information with those in your email address book, on your social media pages, and across the back fence in your neighborhood.  Remind others to vote on May 6, 2014.

Sincerely,

Mike Paskewicz, Superintendent
