My Take: Yes to HPS millage will help build strong school district
Rebekah Schipper
I would like to propose three reasons why voting in support of this proposal is important.
Number one, your taxes will actually go down. You can check it out for yourself on the HPS’s Build 2021 webpage, where you can use the property tax calculator to figure out just how much your taxes will decrease. This bond follows a consistent pattern of financial responsibility by the district over the past 10 years.
After shrinking student populations in the early 2000s which have now stabilized the district was forced to “right size” in very painful ways, but the district decided to face the pain in hopes for a long-term solution. The result is Holland Public Schools has been able to weather the financial storms of the past 20 years and provide quality instruction across the district.
