Lamphere Schools seek voter approval for $85 million bond this May BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI
akozlowski@candgnews.com
MADISON HEIGHTS — Residents in the Lamphere Schools will vote on a tax proposal May 6. If approved, the bond will raise $85 million over a 30-year period, paying for security features, building upgrades and other features in the district. Under the bond, residents would see their tax rate increase by 4.15 mills. The district collects $1 for every $1,000 of taxable value, times the millage rate. As such, a home with a market value of $200,000 and taxable value of $100,000 would pay an extra $415 each year. The increase would first appear on the tax bill this summer. Not including the bond, residents already pay 12.909 mills for the schools’ operating millage, and 2.9297 mills for its sinking fund millage. The bond would bring the total to 19.9887 mills.
