The Northville School Board will set the tax levy during the school board meeting scheduled for this Tuesday, 8/16, at 6:30, in the school auditorium. It appears the board is poised to pass a +20% increase, even though the voters soundly rejected such an increase and HRBBRD has announced they will be paying more than $600,000 in back taxes.
The school board has consistently stated the +20% increase is, in large, being driven by the loss of revenue from HRBBRD. In light of HRBBRD announcement there should be no more than a 5% levy increase. If the board does other than a 5% increase, it is clear they are double dipping this year in order to circumvent the 2% cap on tax increases which will go into effect next year.
Please encourage all of your neighbors to visit this site and to attend Tuesdays Board meeting. Let your voices be heard.
