During Monday's school board meeting, Whitehall superintendent CJ Van Wieren encouraged interested parties to attend two public feedback opportunities he'll be part of Wednesday, April 30, leading up to the May 6 vote on the school district's operating millage.
One of the meetings will take place at 10 a.m. and is being publicized as "Coffee with the Superintendent." A second event is set for 6 p.m. that same day.Both will take place at the VAC.
The millage, a non-homestead millage, will levy 18 mills on properties that are not primary residences. State law requires the district to levy the millage in order to receive full state funding; though the ballot language authorizes up to 20 mills, the district said this is due to projected Headlee amendment rollbacks, and it will not collect more than 18 mills.
Though the impetus for the meeting is the upcoming millage and any questions the public may have about it, Van Wieren said Monday that anyone with questions about the district or feedback to share is welcome to attend as well.
