Having already reached a consesus on the issue, the Clarkston School Board did not hold any further discussion on the ballot language for their non-homestead tax proposal at the Jan. 23 meeting. At the previous meeting, the school board agreed to pursue approval for a non-homestead millage renewal in the district, estimated to be 19.2491 mills, for a period of 10 years. However, the district is only allowed to collect 18 mills annually by law.
In order to meet deadline requirements for May 2 election, action is expected to be taken on the final ballot language at the next scheduled board meeting on Feb. 13. The board must vote to approve the final language to appear on the ballot before any further action can be taken.
