SCHOOL OPERATING MILLAGE RENEWAL |
|
In order to receive its full per pupil foundation revenue guarantee from the state, Mason Public Schools, like all school districts in Michigan, is required to levy millage locally (not to exceed 18 mills) on all property, except principal residences and other property exempted by law. The ten-year operating millage previously approved by voters is set to expire on June 30, 2010. Therefore, a special election is scheduled for February 23, 2010 to renew this operating millage. The millage levied will have no impact on the property tax paid on a person’s home. This is not a new tax. The millage is a renewal and restoration of the 18 mills approved by voters in 1999 on business, commercial, industrial, income and non-qualified farm properties. It will provide estimated revenues in excess of $3 million annually and is critical to maintaining the current level and quality of school district programs and services. Please mark your calendar to cast your vote on February 23. For additional information in regard to the Operating Millage Renewal, click here. | ||

H1N1 VIRUS INFORMATION
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick, too.
Those with flu-like illness should stay home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever, or signs of a fever, without the use of fever-reducing medicines. They should stay home even if they are using antiviral drugs.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
Washing your hands and the hands of children with soap and warm water often will help protect from germs.
Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. If you become ill with a flu-like illness that includes fever, worsening cough or respiratory symptoms, along with body aches, contact your health care professional.
