Detroit school district loses court appeal against state over paying debt with operating tax revenue

The Detroit school district lost a court appeal against the state, requiring it to seek voter approval for a ballot measure to collect operating tax revenue. The ruling upholds that Detroit Public Schools (DPS) cannot use operating tax funds to pay capital debt, forcing the Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) to rely on state funding unless voters approve a shift in tax collection authority by 2027.
