Marshall School District administrator previews three-year $1.875M-per-year operational referendum for November ballot
Summary
Marshall School District Administrator Dan Grady told the Village Board the district will ask voters this November to approve a three-year operational referendum totaling $1.875 million annually; he said a prior operational referendum that funded district operations ends after the 2024–25 school year.
Marshall School District Administrator Dan Grady addressed the Marshall Village Board on Sept. 10 to explain an upcoming operational referendum that will appear on the November ballot.
Grady told the board the district previously passed an operational referendum that supports district operations but that that referendum expires at the end of the 2024–25 school year. To continue the funding stream the district is proposing a three-year referendum asking for $1.875 million per year. He noted the measure is one of roughly 120 school referenda statewide this election cycle.
Grady presented the measure as an operational request; the minutes do not record detailed budget line items, projected program changes, or opposing viewpoints. The board heard the explanation during the public comment portion of the meeting; the minutes do not record a board vote or formal endorsement by the village regarding the referendum.
The district’s proposed timing places the question on the November ballot; voters will decide whether to adopt the three-year, $1.875 million annual levy if the referendum qualifies and is certified for that ballot. The meeting record indicates that MPS staff members Michele Miller and others were present to speak alongside Grady but does not document additional remarks from them.
