Did You Know...

that MAPS has one of the LOWEST millage rates in our area? The chart illustrates the comparison of local school districts in the UP. MAPS' administration and Board of Education have worked hard to remain fiscally responsible to taxpayers, and have not gone to bond for capital projects in 10 years.

The $59.995M May 2026 bond proposal is a direct result of the community's feedback that was gathered during the Fall 2025 School Perceptions community-wide survey. The District received over 1,900 responses (well over the 376 needed for statistical significance), which revealed an estimated 53.8% of voters would support a $60M proposal addressing the Priority 1 projects.

Based on the survey results, the District proposed a solution under that $60M amount in order to reflect the feedback gathered. We Asked, We Listened!
