Here’s a huge thank you to all those in the Milford school district for passing the operating levy! We greatly appreciate your trust in the school board and administration to manage your hard-earned money properly, and our teachers and staff to provide a high-quality education to your children. I know the tax increase from the levy is a financial sacrifice for everyone, and for some it will be a significant hardship. I wish there had been a different solution, but the state put us in an untenable position: either cut valuable and necessary programs and services, or ask the community to make up the funding they cut from our budget.
The district promised this levy will last at least three years. As long as I am on the school board, I promise to work to stretch these funds as far as possible. We will also continue to seek out other sources of revenue and new options to run our business more efficiently.
For now, the good news is there will be no more reductions to what we offer. Unfortunately, the reductions made after the November levy failed will stay in place; thankfully, we were able to find options that made a relatively small impact on our students. The levy will not allow us to add any programs or services, but we will continue the path we are on, refining what we are providing with the goal of continuing to improve the quality of education.
Thank you again for your support. As always, please feel free to get in touch with any questions, concerns, ideas, etc.
Go Eagles!
