Millage Renewals on Ballot August 4

Saline Area Schools residents will find two millage renewals on the ballot on August 4, 2026. Both renewals involve no increase to current tax rates, which are set to expire after the 2027 tax levy. 

The CARES Millage Renewal (0.4850 mills) supports the daily operations of Saline Area Senior Center, Ellen Ewing Performing Arts Center (Saline High School Auditorium), Community Pool at Saline High School, General Recreation programs, Before & After Care, and Preschool options for families. The millage also generates grant funding for many local organizations.

The SAS Sinking Fund Millage Renewal (0.3394 mills) generates funding which may be used for the purchase of real estate sites, the construction or repair of school buildings and facilities, school security improvements, and aquiring and installing instructional technology. Sinking funds cannot be used for salaries, benefits, routine maintenance, and most equipment. Typical examples of uses at Saline Area Schools include repairs, security needs, and smaller construction projects.

Together, these millage renewals provide Saline Area Schools funding for Saline Area Schools, both through the support of recreation programs and for the ongoing improvement and repair of our schools. This funding helps ensure students’ learning spaces are safe and well-equipped. The community is encouraged to read more about these millage renewals on our website.
