Ionia Public Schools proposal on May 4 ballot
Ionia Sentinel-Standard
IONIA Ionia Public Schools is asking voters to approve a non-homestead operating millage restoration in the Tuesday, May 4, election.
The Headlee Amendment to the Michigan Constitution requires a millage reduction when annual growth on existing property values exceeds the rate of inflation, Wilson said.
“This proposal would ensure we receive our full per-pupil funding for all of our students,” Barna said.
IPS was affected by Headlee in the 2020 tax year, Wilson said. It created a reduction of 0.2196 mills bringing operating millage to 17.7804 mills.
The state assumes each local school district will levy 18 mills on non-homestead property, with the remainder of the per pupil funding coming from the state School Aid Fund, Wilson said.
Ron Wilson: Adults should work together to resolve issues

Early in my career, I became a fan of Stephen Covey. You may be familiar with some of his books like Principle Based Leadership and The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
Covey, like many of my favorite authors weaves compelling stories to drive his message.
He fosters the notion our behavior is based on our attitude, and our attitude is driven by our knowledge base. He reinforces this premise with a true story about riding the subway home from work.
One evening while riding the subway a man with three small children boarded the train. Covey was reading his newspaper and had given the four little attention until the children began to misbehave.
Five people spoke during public comment, including Emerson Elementary employee Julie Bennett. She believes the decision is being rushed during a “stressful” COVID-19 pandemic. Bennett said Emerson Elementary is full and doesn’t have an empty room.
“Our students and staff deserve better,” Bennett said. “I ask you to please slow down, take the time necessary to gather the facts and gather staff and community input before this very important decision is made. This is a critical time and it takes everyone to come together to make a difference.”
Katie Bennett said there’s a scarcity of daycare in Ionia County and called it “irresponsible” to tell parents where to send their children for school but not provide transportation to daycare.
