White Cloud Public Schools Proposal -- Operating Millage Proposal

This proposal will enable the school district to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on all property except principal residence, qualified agricultural property and qualified forest property required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance. Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, exempting therefrom principal residence, qualified agricultural property and qualified forest property as defined by law, in White Cloud Public Schools, Newaygo County, Michigan, be increased by 2 mills ($2.00 on each $1,000.00 of taxable valuation) for a period of 3 years, 2007, 2008 and 2009, to provide funds for operating purposes; if approved, the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect the first year of levy, 2007, is approximately $38,231 (this millage is to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will be levied only to the extent necessary to restore that reduction)?
