Vote the Taxes School Boards Hold Taxing Power
Important changes in the school law give school boards near total taxing power while electors may only vote funds for building sites and schoolhouses. The 1911 amendments shift control to boards as annual meetings set July 8 across districts statewide, making officer elections and fiscal decisions crucial.
School board controls taxes and contracts for repairs
The text states taxes for tuition and other purposes are set by the school board. It grants the board discretion to determine necessary taxes for repairs, equipment, wages, water, heating, and facilities. Electors cannot set contracts, influence fuel contracts, or appoint teachers or set their salaries.
Close Small Michigan Schools to Send Pupils Elsewhere
Michigan districts with enrollments under ten consider closing schools at July 8 meetings. Electors may vote to discontinue the year and transport pupils to nearby districts, with the district paying transportation and the cost of consolidation. Benefits cited include better training and cost efficiency despite loss of local district status.
