ROCKFORD, Mich. — Rockford Public Schools will keep a major source of operating revenue after voters approved the district's non-homestead millage.
The 18-mill operating millage passed Tuesday. The tax applies to businesses, commercial properties and second homes — not people who own only their primary residence.
Superintendent Steve Matthews said the millage will bring in about $9.5 million per year to help fund daily district operations.
Supporters say that funding helps pay for teachers, programs and services in Rockford classrooms.
