Ballot Language
CLIO AREA SCHOOLS PROPOSAL BOND PROPOSAL
Shall Clio Area Schools, Genesee and Saginaw Counties, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Eight Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,700,000), and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefor, for the purpose of remodeling, furnishing and refurnishing, and equipping and re-equipping school buildings, including, among other improvements, the creation of a secure entryway at the Early Elementary School and renovations to the auditorium at the High School?
The following is for informational purposes only.
The estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2025 is 0.50 mills ($0.50 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a -0- mill net increase over the prior year's levy. The maximum number of years the bonds may be outstanding, exclusive of any refunding, is sixteen (16) years. The estimated simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire this bond debt is .99 mills ($0.99 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation).
The school district does not expect to borrow from the State to pay debt service on the bonds. The total amount of qualified bonds currently outstanding is $34,905,000. The total amount of qualified loans currently outstanding is $0. The estimated computed millage rate may change based on changes in certain circumstances.
(Pursuant to State law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited and the proceeds cannot be used for repair or maintenance costs, teacher, administrator or employee salaries, or other operating expenses.)

How does this help me? I don’t have kids in the district. “Many home buyers search for homes based on the quality of the school district. When the community supports and prioritizes their commitment to the district, this creates a higher demand for homes and leads to higher property values.” —Carrie Ammons, Re/Max realtor
