Romeo Community Schools board hears facilities bond tax examples ahead of Nov. 4 vote
Summary
Superintendent Todd Robinson presented debt-millage graphics and tax examples for homes at $200,000 and $400,000 as the district entered the final week of a facilities bond campaign; the board discussed absentee ballot hours and potential consequences if the bond fails.
Superintendent Todd Robinson presented a facilities bond update at the Oct. 27 meeting, showing graphical illustrations of the district's debt millage and giving examples of monthly, annual and 10‑year tax impacts for homes valued at $200,000 and $400,000. He said there was one week remaining before the Nov. 4 vote and shared office hours for absentee ballots.
Board members asked what would happen if the bond does not pass; Robinson framed the presentation around the tax comparatives and long‑term debt implications. Board member Banach urged turnout and emphasized that approving the bond would keep payments at or near current levels and that, over time, the tax rate would decrease.
The presentation followed facility updates earlier in the meeting that noted rooftop unit delays, change orders and timeline adjustments on projects tied to the 2021 facilities bond. No formal board action on the bond was taken at the meeting; the board scheduled no additional binding vote during the session itself.
Next steps: the campaign continues through Election Day, and the board emphasized absentee ballot access and voter outreach in the final week.
