The Suttons Bay Public School operating millage renewal proposal overwhelmingly passed in Tuesday’s presidential primary election, with 1,427 people voting in favor versus 474 opposed.
According to Leelanau County election results, most of those votes in favor of the millage renewal came from voters in Bingham Township (632) and Suttons Bay Township (636), as well as Elmwood Township (157).
“We are incredibly grateful for the support of our school community, families, and voters in Suttons Bay Public Schools,” said Suttons Bay Superintendent Casey Petz. “The renewal of the Operating Millage provides for essential funding to support high quality programs and instruction for all students. Stable and adequate funding to support education allows the district to plan further ahead, implement our strategic plan efficiently, and pay operating costs like utility bills, staff salaries, and purchase curriculum. We are very fortunate to have the support of our voters and we will continue to do everything we can to build trust in our school system.”
