Dearborn Public Schools $1.51 billion bond proposal

Dearborn

Summary

Superintendent Mike Hasaile presented the district's bond on the November 3 ballot: it would build six new pre-K–8 schools, renovate every school, and put over $220 million into the three high schools, arguing the tax rate will not increase because old millages are swapped out. A commenter disputed the 'no tax increase' claim, calling it a 30-year extension of high taxes.
