In the unofficial vote count with all precinct reporting in Tuesday's  election, Hastings school's millage was defeated; Delton schools and Hastings Township/Library millage requests were approved by voters.

 

Hastings Schools  Yes: 1,814                            

                              No: 2,014

The Hastings Area School System had asked district voters to approve .7 mills to raise $9.9 million for repairs to all school buildings to be paid off in 12 years. A previous .4 millage will be paid off in 2020; approval would have meant taxpayers would have had a .3 mill increase in taxes.

 

Delton Kellogg: Yes: 1,057

                         No: 630

Delton Schools asked for $23.2 million for facility and instructional environment needs, with a focus on building and site improvements, educational technology and district-wide improvements. The estimated millage that will be levied for the bonds this year is 1.58 mills ($1.58 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a -0- mill net increase over the prior year’s levy. The maximum number of years the bonds may be outstanding is 25.

 

Hastings Charter Township Library millage: Yes: 393

                                                                     No: 320

The Hastings Public Library asked for a 1.6 millage renewal/increase for 10 years to provide library services to township residents. Township voters defeated the same request last year in the August election.
