Q&A: Taylor School District School Improvement Bond


This is one of many questions concerning the Taylor School District School Improvement Bond, which will appear on the November ballot. The proposal is for 0.96 mills annually for five years, beginning this school year.

Why is the Taylor School District looking to pass a school improvement bond?

For three reasons:

  • A recent study concluded that district across Wayne County have been significantly underfunded by the state in recent years
  • Despite efforts to reduce costs, districts are facing ongoing budgetary challenges to provide core educational progress
  • The Taylor Board of Education voters to put the bond on the ballot this year to help ensure educational opportunities remain available to student as they prepare for the jobs of the future.
