What is a non-homestead renewal and restoration millage?
A non-homestead renewal and restoration millage supports the school district’s general operating budget. The operating budget covers everything necessary to provide educational programs and services in Vassar Public Schools. The non-homestead replacement millage is not levied on primary residences (the home in which a homeowner lives); it only applies to businesses, second homes, vacant land, and rental property. All school districts in Michigan must levy 18 mills on non-homestead property to receive their full foundation allowance.
In all Michigan school districts, the 18 mill non-homestead levy is subject to rollbacks per the Headlee Amendment to the Michigan Constitution. While school districts cannot levy more than 18 mills on non-homestead property, Vassar Public Schools is requesting approval of an additional .5 mill non-homestead levy to protect against future rollbacks when they occur.
Due to the recent exam schedule adjustments, we're extending intersession registration until Friday, February 9, 2024 for all buildings.
High school students, please review your report cards and transcripts to ensure you do not need to use this opportunity to recover lost credits. Take advantage of this extended registration period to stay on track!
Also, high school and middle school report cards will be distributed on Monday, Feb. 5, 2024.
The second proposal on the February 27 ballot is a 10-year, non-homestead renewal and restoration millage proposal. This millage does not impact the taxes on primary residences (the home in which a homeowner lives).
Hello Vulcan families! The Elephant bus will have a double run for the PM route on Thursday, February 1st. Students who ride the Elephant bus will be dropped off later than normal. Thank you!
