MPS Board of Education Special Meeting - November 5, 2026

The Midland Public Schools Board of Education held a special meeting on November 5, 2026, to address the newly voter-approved sinking fund millage. The board unanimously approved the L-4029 millage schedule, including the 1.5-mill levy, contingent on certification of the vote. Because the summer tax collection had already occurred, the full levy will be collected on this winter’s tax bill for this year only; future collections for city residents are expected to be split between summer and winter bills. District leadership said the funds would support a four-year plan and student safety and security, with transparency and progress updates. No specific contracts, vendors, or purchases were discussed or approved.

During public comment, a speaker urged the board to change the bond repayment millage and cited a potential $950,000 surplus, but no action was taken on that proposal. Another speaker questioned a $3,746 charge for a requested public-records file. The meeting concluded with an adjournment motion.
