The issue in plain English
What is the Romulus hold-harmless millage?
The phrase is familiar to the district. The decision still deserves public scrutiny.
A hold-harmless millage provides local operating revenue that Romulus Community Schools has relied on for years. The proposal asks voters to renew that authorization for another 10 years, from 2027 through 2036.
The proposal calls for up to 2.5 mills as limited by law. The district says the current legal levy is 1.3115 mills and estimates approximately $745,254 in 2027 revenue.
This is a renewal of an existing funding stream, but another decade still requires accountability. Residents should see a clear spending plan, measurable goals, and public reporting before they vote.
