The proposal would have extended the 11.5 mills for debt service for an additional 30 years. Now, it will expire after the 2027-28 school year and the district will have the minimum 25 maintenance and operations mills as required by the state.
The district was asking for the millage for general maintenance of existing buildings to do things such as replace roofs, renovating office space, make the schools more secure and other school purposes.
