Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of 21.8508 mills ($21.8508 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Saline Area Schools, Washtenaw County, Michigan, be renewed for a period of 10 years, 2024 to 2033, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2024 is approximately $8,501,850 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2023 tax levy)?
