Shall the Clawson Public Schools, County of Oakland, State of Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Fifty Five Million Nine Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($55,935,000) and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefor, in one or more series, for the purpose of paying for the cost of the following projects:

• Preparing, developing and improving sites, including sites for school buildings and additions thereto, including the construction of new drives, parking lots and landscaping;
• Preparing, developing and improving sites for the construction and equipping of athletic fields and playgrounds;
• Constructing, erecting, equipping and furnishing a new Middle School facility;

The maximum number of years any series of bonds may be outstanding, exclusive of refunding, is not more than thirty (30) years; the estimated millage that will be levied to pay the proposed bonds in the first year is 2.22 mills (which is equal to $2.22 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a 0 mill net increase over the prior year’s levy; and the estimated simple average annual millage that will be required to retire each series of bonds is 6.15 mills annually ($6.15 per $1,000 of taxable value).

The school district expects to borrow from the State School Bond Qualification and Loan Program to pay debt service on these bonds.  The estimated total principal amount of that borrowing is $3,798,224 and the estimated total interest to be paid thereon is $1,088,441.  The estimated duration of the millage levy associated with that borrowing is 10 years and the estimated computed millage rate for such levy is 9.02 mills.  The estimated computed millage rate may change based on changes in certain circumstances.

The total amount of qualified bonds currently outstanding is $13,310,000.  The total amount of qualified loans currently outstanding is approximately $785,714.

Operating Millage Proposal

Operating Millage Proposal has passed

This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance and restores millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963.

Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Madison District Public Schools, Oakland County, Michigan be renewed by 17.4874 mills ($17.4874 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2022 to 2031, inclusive, and also be increased by .5 mill ($0.50 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2022 to 2031, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2022 is approximately $2,027,759 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2021 levy and a restoration of millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the “Headlee” amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963)?
