Question 3: Operating Millage Proposal

This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of not to
exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted
by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation
allowance. The remaining 2 mills are only available to be levied to restore millage lost as
a reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will only be levied to the
extent necessary to restore that reduction.
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except
principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Les Cheneaux Community Schools,
Mackinac and Chippewa Counties, Michigan, be increased by 20 mills ($20.00 on each $1,000
of taxable valuation) for a period of 5 years, 2027 to 2031, inclusive, to provide funds for
operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is
approved and 18 mills are levied in 2027 is approximately $3,576,324 (this is a replacement of
millage that expired with the 2026 tax levy)?
