FAQ: Why is the bond proposal ballot language so long?
Michigan law requires school bond ballot language to include specific details so voters have clear, complete information before casting a vote. By law, the ballot must disclose items such as the total amount to be borrowed, how long the bonds may be repaid, how the funds may be used, and the estimated tax impact.
In addition to meeting these legal requirements, MAPS chose to clearly list the elements of the proposed plan to be as transparent as possible with the community. The detailed language is intended to help voters understand exactly what is being proposed, how the funds could be used, and how the district plans to address facility needs if the bond is approved.
