Special Education Millage Proposal
Every Child Ever Day!
Millage Renewal Quick Facts
What is being proposed?
A 2.3826 mil renewal to cover unreimbursed costs to provide special education services in Washtenaw County.
The millage renewal would continue to benefit all public school students because revenue from the millage would continue to cover most of the costs of mandatory special education services. The millage renewal would preserve each school district’s general fund budget, which can be used for the educational needs of all students. Local districts would decide how best to use these funds.
Millage dollars stay local. Revenue from this renewal would be used to pay for services mandated for special education in: Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter, Lincoln, Manchester, Milan, Saline, Whitmore Lake, Ypsilanti, and Washtenaw County’s 13 public school academies.
