But how do we compare to other school districts near us? 🏫

If the bond is approved, there would be a 1.55 mills impact per $1000 of taxable property value. Marquette Area Public Schools has one of the lowest millages in the region at 1.31 mills.

The $59.995M bond, if approved, will be a phased borrowing (in series), which will be amortized for 28 years. The District will have the ability to refinance in 10 years, lessening the tax burden on resident taxpayers.
