Whiteford board asks for Monroe County technology millage renewal to appear on May 5, 2026 ballot
Summary
Trustees voted to adopt a resolution asking the Monroe County Intermediate School District to place a .9866 mill, five-year regional technology enhancement millage renewal on the May 5, 2026 ballot; the board noted estimated countywide 2027 revenue of $7,636,841 and the district's historical receipts of $5,297,940 since 1997.
The Whiteford Agricultural School Board on Nov. 10 adopted a resolution requesting that the Monroe County Intermediate School District submit a regional enhancement millage renewal (.9866 mill for five years) to voters at a special election on May 5, 2026.
The resolution, moved by Tom Wenzel and seconded by Dave Dixon, directs the superintendent or the superintendent's designee to deliver a certified copy of the board's resolution to the intermediate district by Friday, Nov. 28, 2025. The board recorded the motion as approved 6–0 (one member absent).
According to the resolution text presented to the board, the estimated revenue the intermediate district would collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2027 is approximately $7,636,841; the resolution lists the constituent districts that would receive disbursements in accordance with statute and notes that Whiteford Agricultural School District has received $5,297,940 from the millage since 1997.
The resolution references Section 705 of the Michigan Revised School Code as authorizing a request that the intermediate district submit the millage question to voters. The resolution specifies a proposed rate of .9866 mill ($0.9866 per $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a five-year renewal covering 2027 through 2031 and incorporates the ballot language included as Exhibit A in the board packet.
Next steps: the board-authorized designee must deliver the certified resolution to the Monroe County Intermediate School District by Nov. 28, 2025 to meet the timeline for inclusion on the May 5, 2026 ballot.
