Dear P - CCS Students and Families:
This is just a brief reminder that there is a very important item on next week’s ballot involving our school district . On Tuesday , February 27 , P - CCS residents will have the opportunity to vote on a long - standing Non - Homestead millage renewal , that would continue to generate operating revenue that is essential for our district , over the next 20 years .
The Non - Homestead millage represents about 16 percent of Plymouth - Canton Community Schools ' operating revenues each year . For P - CCS , this represents about $33 . 5 million dollars of our general budget . In addition to supporting education programs and services , we use these funds for teachers and other essential staff who help ensure our students get the great education they deserve and that our community has come to expect .
I want to emphasize that this proposal is
NOT a request for a tax rate increase
, but simply an appeal to continue at the same funding level that has been maintained since 1994 .
This millage applies only to local business , industrial , and commercial property , and property that is not the owner’s primary residence . That means that this millage does NOT apply to your primary residence in our community . If the millage is not approved , the state will not make up the gap in funding .
I want to encourage all of you to visit our website at
PCCSK12 . comto learn more about this important issue on the ballot . And please remember to vote on February 27!
Yours in Learning ,
Dr . Monica L . Merritt
Superintendent
