School millage renewal approved in Burr Oak

Burr Oak Community Schools taxpayers Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a renewal request centering on a sinking fund.

Renewal of a nearly 3-mill amount came in the form of 127 votes in favor to 35 against.

Projected to raise about $160,000 annually over the course of its four-year life, the newly approved sinking fund will take effect in 2025.

District officials said the funds will allow the district to consider land purchase, as well as updating technology, buildings and grounds, and security.
