Wayne County Proposal: Wayne RESA

WAYNE COUNTY, MI — Wayne County voters on Nov. 3 will vote on whether to renew a millage funding Wayne Regional Educational Service Agency.

Revenue raised by the proposal will be collected by Wayne RESA and then distributed to local public schools districts throughout Wayne County based on pupil membership count.

The proposal is as follows:

As a renewal of authority which expires with the 2021 levy, shall the limitation on the amount of ad valorem taxes which may be imposed on taxable property in the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency, Michigan, be increased by 2 mills ($2.00 per thousand dollars of taxable value) for a period of six (6) years, 2022 to 2027, inclusive, to provide operating funds to enhance other state and local funding for local school district operating purposes? It is estimated that 2 mills would raise approximately $90.4 million when first levied in 2022.

The revenue from this millage will be disbursed to public school academies within the boundaries of the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency which are eligible to receive
enhancement millage under the Revised School Code and the following school districts:
