🗳️ Operating Millage Renewal Proposal

On Tuesday, November 3, Hartford voters will consider a 5-year renewal of the district’s operating millage for 2027–2031.

This proposal renews existing funding that supports our schools and does not affect a homeowner’s primary residence.

We encourage our community to learn more about the proposal and make an informed decision before Election Day.
