The document proposes a $5.85 million bond for facility improvements at the Unionville-Sebewaing Area Schools. Proposed projects include replacing the elementary school well, repairing walkways and drainage, upgrading windows, and making exterior repairs. No tax increase is expected in 2013, and the maximum tax impact would be $2.97 per $1,000 of taxable property value.

3. Bond Proposal
Shall Unionville-Sebewaing Area Schools, Tuscola and Huron Counties Michigan, borrow the sum of not
to exceed Five Million Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($5,850,000) and issue its general obligation
unlimited tax bonds therefor, for the purpose of:
Partially remodeling, furnishing and refurnishing, equipping and re-equipping facilities; acquiring,
installing and equipping educational technology for school facilities; purchasing school buses;
construction and equipping a new running track and developing and improving sites?
The following is for informational purposes only:
No millage will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2013, under current law. The maximum number of
years the bonds may be outstanding, exclusive of any refunding, is fourteen (14) years. The estimated
simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire this bond debt is 2.97 ($2.97 on each
$1000.00 of taxable valuation)
If the school district borrows from the State to pay debt service on the bonds, the school district may be
required to continue to levy mills beyond the term of the bonds to repay the State.
(Pursuant to State law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited, and the proceeds cannot be used
for repair or maintenance costs, teacher, administrator or employee salaries, or other operating
expenses.)
4. What are the additional costs?
The state has determined your home or property’s taxable value growth to cap at either 5% or the
rate of inflation, whichever is less per year.
*The taxable value of your home is approximately one-half the market value of a home or property.
See your most recent tax statement for the exact amount of your taxable value.
Calculate your tax investment by diving the taxable value* of your home or property by 1000 and
then multiply the results by the millage levy.
NOTE: One mill = $1.00 per $1,000 of taxable value of a home or property.
MILLAGE COST TO TAXPAYERS FOR Proposal One is $5,850,000
