    Detroit schools want voters to approve Proposal S: Here’s why

    Detroit Public School Community District (DPSCD) seeks voter approval for Proposal S to fund teacher salaries, textbooks, and student programming by redirecting property taxes currently used to pay DPS debt. The proposal aims to sustain DPSCD after state funding ends, as DPS previously mismanaged funds, leading to debt that DPSCD now addresses.

    Detroit students canvass to ask voters to support Proposal S

    Detroit students and volunteers with 482Forward are canvassing to gain voter support for Proposal S, which would authorize an operating millage for Detroit Public Schools Community District. The measure aims to avoid an $111 million deficit by allowing the district to collect a 18-mill tax on businesses and rental properties, which they will need to manage after the district’s historic debt is paid off in September.
