2008 Fremont School Board Election February 10, 2008

This election will be held on May 6, 2008. As usual I make no guarantees of 100% accuracy. Check the Newaygo County Clerk’s website for more information on this election. An “inc.” after the name indicates that the candidate is an incumbent.

11 Feb 2008 Update: Added Neil James Featherstone to Fremont School Board candidates.

13 Feb 2008 Update: Added Ty Miller to Fremont School Board candidates.  The candidate filing deadline was yesterday so this list should be final.

Fremont School Board (vote for two)

Proposals

Operating Millage Renewal Proposal

This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance

Shall the limitation on teh amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Fremont Public Schools, Newaygo, Muskegon and Oceana Counties, Michigan, be increased by 18 mills ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 5 years, 2008 to 2012, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 200 is approximately $2,640,000 (this is a renewal of millage which expired with the 2007 tax levy)?
