Board discusses timing to 'protect the millage rate' and potential 2025 planning
Summary
Board members and district leaders discussed protecting the district's millage rate to fund capital needs, noted the typical five- to six-year cycle since the 2019 bond, and outlined work needed on ballot language and a formal timeline if the Board decides to proceed.
Board members spent part of the Dec. 19 meeting discussing whether to pursue millage action in 2025 to preserve local capital funding. District presenters and trustees said local millage revenue is necessary to fund facilities work such as roofs, boilers and lighting, noting state operating dollars do not cover capital needs and that the district traditionally returns to voters every five to six years.
District staff framed the next steps: the Board must decide whether to pursue formal planning, develop ballot language and review building needs in committee before any referendum. The district identified the 2019 Bond as the last major capital authorization and said the Board is at the point in the cycle to consider whether to move forward in 2025.
