Middle School Honor Roll! Great job to all of our hard-working students!
Sorry for the late post!
The Vassar High School students had a great time at Macho Volleyball last Thursday night! Thank you to the Student Council members who organized the event and the amazing staff members who made it possible. The Senior team came out victorious against the 9th-11th grade team and everyone had fun! Thanks to all of the students who came to cheer on their classmates, coach, ref, run the clock, and create a fun event for everyone involved!
How will the non-homestead renewal and restoration millage impact farmland?
The impact on farmland depends on whether the farmland is part of a residence (primary homestead) or on a non-homestead farming property, the percentage of the land that is farmed, etc.
Looking for something fun to do??

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.
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!

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).
