Renewal of tech millage is huge step in the right direction

Renewal of tech millage is huge step in the right direction The Monroe News This Tuesday, May 4, Monroe County voters are being asked to renew the Monroe County Technology Enhancement Millage. This levy was first passed in 1997 and has been renewed 4 times since. Though the tech millage does not fund traditional materials nor bricks and mortar projects, its impact upon educational opportunity continues to be truly transformative in this day and age. The Monroe County Intermediate School District (ISD) was the first in Michigan to pass an enhancement millage for educational technology and remains the only ISD in Michigan to have done so. Originally, the millage was for 1 mill and today is slightly less, .9866 of a mill. If the renewal is approved a homeowner whose home has a taxable value of $100,000.00 will continue to pay $98.66 annually for educational technology in our public schools. It is not a tax increase.

City council offers support for tech millage renewal

City council offers support for tech millage renewal The City of Monroe has thrown its support behind the renewal of the county-wide education technology millage, which voters will consider in a May 4 special election.  Council on Monday unanimously approved a resolution of support for the one-mill levy renewal which, if passed, would extend the millage another five years.   State law says the Monroe County Intermediate School District is responsible for collecting the revenue raised by the millage. The ISD and the county’s public school districts, along with New Bedford Academy and Triumph Academy, each receive a share of the revenue based on enrollment numbers. 

Monroe ISD seeking technology millage renewal

The Monroe County Intermediate School District once again will ask voters to renew its long-supported technology millage used toward keeping the county s public school districts competitive in its access to digital resources.  Residents countywide will be asked to approve or nix the regional enhancement millage renewal, which has earned the community s support for more than 20 years, to levy .9866 mills for the next five years during the May 4 election.  The request comes at a time when technology devices, many of which have been funded from past millage revenue, are critical for students learning virtually or for classrooms incorporating online learning components amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Supt. Stephen McNew of the Monroe County Intermediate School District.
