Election day!
Polls are open 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
What to expect on the November 5th Ballot:
Non-Homestead Millage - The continuation of the millage on non-homestead properties and businesses would account for about 20% of the school district's total general fund.
Sinking Fund Millage - The current sinking fund millage will expire in 2025. If approved, this proposal would RENEW the current sinking fund millage for another 5 years.
Did you know? The Operating Millage Proposal is NOT a new tax and does NOT impact the taxes on residential or agricultural property.
Did you know? A homestead property is your primary residence (the home you live). Non-homestead properties include land and buildings such as businesses, rental properties and vacation homes that have not been designated as a primary residence. If approved, the operating millage WOULD NOT change the taxes on our primary residence.
Tuesday, November 5: Polls open at 7:00 a.m. and will be open until 8:00 p.m.!
Halloween fun at Upton Middle School!
Focaccia Bread, Halloween Cookies, and Cinnamon Rolls oh my!!! First Hour 8th Grade Foods students have been busy little bakers!

Happy Halloween from all of us at SJPS!
Late Start Wednesday - October 30, 2024
Did you know? The Sinking Fund Millage Renewal Proposal is NOT a new tax. It is a renewal or a continuation of our current sinking fund millage, which will expire in 2025.
