I. Operating Millage Proposal
Bridgeport-Spaulding Community School District · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
This proposal will allow the school district 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 full 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 Bridgeport-Spaulding Community School District, Saginaw County, Michigan, be renewed by 17.7470 mills ($17.7470 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2027 to 2036, inclusive, and also be increased by 0.2530 mill ($0.2530 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2027 to 2036, inclusive, for a total of 18 mills, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2027 is approximately $2,900,000 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2026 levy and a restoration of millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963)?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Bridgeport-Spaulding Community School District voters in Saginaw County are asked to renew 17.7470 mills ($17.7470 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) of operating millage and increase it by 0.2530 mill ($0.2530 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation), for a total of 18 mills, for 10 years, 2027 through 2036 inclusive. The wording says this renews millage expiring with the 2026 levy and restores millage lost to the constitutional reduction. The estimated revenue, if 18 mills are levied in 2027, is approximately $2,900,000. A YES vote approves both the renewal and the increase; a NO vote rejects the whole proposal, so neither is approved.
