How will all public school students benefit from a technology and security millage?

All students will have greater access to technologytools and resources that will prepare them for

tomorrow’s world of work, college and beyond.

What will voters be asked to approve?

Voters within the MAISD will be asked to support a proposal to raise property taxes by one mill for ten

years. The owner of a home with a market value of $82,000 would pay $41 more a year for ten years in

property taxes, while the public schools would receive $4.3 million every year to cover expenses related

to technology and security

How much money will the millage generate

per student?

The millage will generate an estimated $163.95 per public school district student.

Doesn’t the MAISD already have a “tech millage” in place?

The MAISD has never had a technology millage in place to fund things like computers, smart boards,

software, support, infrastructure, and security at each of the local school districts. No enhancement

millage exists within the MAISD. Currently the MAISD does have a vocational millage that pays for career

and technical education programs attended by over 760 students at the Muskegon Area Career Tech

Center.
