On Tuesday, August 4, Morley Stanwood Community Schools voters will consider renewing the district’s existing non-homestead operating millage.
This is a renewal—not a new tax—and it does not increase the tax rate. Homestead property owners pay $0 in operating taxes on their principal residence. The millage provides essential funding for instruction, transportation, student programs, facilities, maintenance, and school safety.
Please remember to vote at your local polling place on August 4! 💙💛
