Reminder: Today is Election Day!
There is only one item on the ballot today — the regional CTE millage. I just stopped by the Inverness polling station, and about 90 ballots had already been cast. Most, if not all, polling stations are open until 8:00 PM tonight. It literally took me less than five minutes to complete the voting process this afternoon/evening.
The COPESD is asking voters to consider this regional CTE millage. If approved, it would generate over $4.8 million annually to support Career and Technical Education programs across all ten districts in our region. This is a meaningful investment in both our students’ futures and the strength of our local workforce.
The annual property tax impact of a voter-approved CTE millage would be one mill, which is equal to $1 per $1,000 of taxable value. This means for every $100,000 in taxable home value, the cost is $100 annually, or approximately $8.33 per month.
