- What Detroiters should know about the proposed school operating millage on the Aug. 4 ballot
Detroit voters are considering a proposed 18-mill operating millage on August 4 to fund the Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) after state-provided revenue ends. The millage would generate $18 per $1,000 of taxable value for 20 years, affecting commercial, rental, and vacation properties but not primary homeowners. The shift follows DPS's 2016 restructuring, which transferred school operations to DPSCD while DPS remains to settle debt.
