I am asking you to vote in Tuesday’s May 2nd election. Saline Area Schools will be on the ballot for an operating millage renewal. This is not a BOND, it is a 10 year millage renewal proposal that is part of the normal, day-to-day, funding structure for all Michigan School Districts.
If you only own one home, you would NOT pay this millage. It would be paid by second home owners, businesses and all other non-principal residence property owners.
It would help SAS continue to generate a little over $8.5 million dollars for the GENERAL OPERATING budget (the budget that helps pay for teachers and other staff members) on an annual basis for the next 10 years.
More information about this millage renewal proposal can be found by going to www.salineschools.org and by clicking on the pop-up button “Millage Renewal 2023.”
If you already voted by absentee, thank you. Again, please vote in tomorrow’s May 2nd election.
Thank you,
Kenyatta Hughes
Next week is nationwide Staff Appreciation Week. We would like to take this upcoming week to show our Pleasant Ridge staff just how much we appreciate all they do for our students and our community. We want to make sure that all of our staff knows how much they mean to us – including teachers, paraeducators, support staff, lunch ladies, Mr Tracy, bus drivers and lots of others! The PTA has a week of special events planned and we would also like your help in making it a great week. To get the kids involved we have some no-pressure activities each day:
Monday………….….Bring a flower
Tuesday……Bring a school supply
Wednesday…………..Bring a card
Thursday……..Bring a favorite treat
Friday…….Wear their favorite color
There are a number of volunteer openings that we could use some help with. Please see the volunteer sign-up if you are interested. There are also donation opportunities still available. Staff favorite things/wish wall
