The approved operating millage is set to commence in the year 2027. Its primary objective is to address and restore lost tax revenue that the school district has experienced. This financial boost is intended to support the ongoing operations and educational programs within Kalkaska Public Schools.

Further details on the implementation of the millage, including its precise impact on the school district’s budget and student services, are expected to be clarified as the 2027 start date approaches.
