White Pigeon Community School District Seeks Approximately $1 Million in May Ballot Initiative

From the Elkhart Truth:

The White Pigeon Community School District is asking voters to approve a millage renewal proposal on May 8.

The request is a millage renewal of 3 mills for five years, which will continue the current sinking fund to provide for construction and repair of school buildings and sites. The current sinking fund expired with the 2011 tax levy. It is estimated the additional revenue will allow the school district to collect approximately $1,024,106 for 2012. This is $3 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation.

The millage request is the only ballot proposal. School board candidates will be elected in November due to state regulations.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters will cast ballots at their own township offices.
