When Beal City members were asked to come out and vote on two propositions for their school Tuesday, each one was passed.
The first proposition that local voters were to decide on was to renew the current 17 mills and also restore the millage to the maximum 18 mills.
According to themorningsun.com this was passed quite easily with 64.52% of the votes supporting the millage.
“I think at this point in time it’s a necessary thing to do, and I did support it,” Bob Curtiss said, a 40 year Beal City resident.
The second Beal City School proposal voters were asked to decide on was to allow the school to levy additional millage in the future if the millage from Proposition I falls below 18 mills.
This is important because a majority of the Beal City School Districts funding comes from the state on a per student basis. However, in order for the school to receive funding it must levy 18 mills on non-homestead property in their district.
According to themorningsun.com Proposition II was passed with 55.49% of the votes supporting the proposal.
“The community is always behind our school,” said Judy Schumacher a Beal city resident of 64 years. “I voted yes, we always support the district.”
