Some notable measures on the election ballot were a $192 million bond proposal from Kentwood Public Schools for infrastructure and tech upgrades, a Grand Haven Township $6.1 million bond proposal for park improvements, largely, to develop Schmidt Heritage Park, and a Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency request to renew the county’s 1.5-mill special education tax.

GALESBURG-AUGUSTA, MI Voters in Galesburg-Augusta rejected the school district’s $14.99 million bond proposal for school improvements on Tuesday, May 4.
The proposal failed by two votes, with 803 votes cast in favor of the measure and 805 opposed, according to the complete unofficial results from the Kalamazoo County Clerk’s Office.
The bond would have funded an addition to the elementary school and other facility improvements, according to Galesburg-Augusta’s 2021 bond proposal website.
The proposed
1.5-mill tax would have cost the average taxpayer with a home valued at $150,000 an additional $112.50 annually, or $9.38 per month, the school district said.
