In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
This question asks voters in Ortonville Public Schools to revoke the district's current referendum authorization of $597.76 per pupil and replace it with a new one of $1,050 per pupil. Referendum revenue is extra general operating money that voters approve for the district. It comes from a local property tax and, in some districts, partly from state aid. The new amount would last ten years starting with taxes payable in 2027, and would rise each year with inflation beginning in 2028. A YES vote makes this replacement. A NO vote means the current authorization is not replaced. The ballot notes that passage will increase property taxes.
Fiscal impact
New authorization of $1,050 per pupil replacing $597.76 per pupil, for 10 years from taxes payable in 2027, rising with inflation from 2028.
