Howell Public Schools is thanking voters for passing the district's non-homestead operating millage renewal Tuesday:. "Howell Public Schools is grateful for the support of district residents in approving both the non-homestead operating millage renewal and restoration proposals in the Nov. 3 election. Approval of the renewal allows the district to continue levying the 18-mill non-homestead operating millage beyond the expiration of the current authorization in 2027. Approval of the restoration returns the district's authorized millage rate to 19.0495 mills, the rate approved by voters in 2014. Under Michigan's school funding system, established by Proposal A in 1994, school districts must levy an 18-mill non-homestead operating millage to receive their full per-pupil funding as established by the state of Michigan.

Brickbat: A Lack of Trustee

Michigan State University Trustee Mike Balow has filed a federal lawsuit against Board Chair Brianna Scott and Board Secretary Stefan Fletcher, claiming the university's revised ethics code violates his First Amendment rights. The code, adopted in May, prohibits trustees from publicly criticizing decisions made by the board majority and requires them to support the university's official positions. Balow and fellow trustee Rema Vassar refused to sign the code and were censured in June, losing certain board member privileges. Balow argues that the rules let trustees praise university leaders but punish them for criticizing their decisions, making it harder to provide independent oversight. He has previously questioned the university's handling of the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal. His lawsuit seeks to find the code unconstitutional and end its enforcement.

Scott, Tebay Zemke positioned to win two seats on MSU Board of Trustees

Democratic incumbents Brianna Scott and Kelly Tebay Zemke are poised to win two seats on the Michigan State University Board of Trustees at a time when the board has been criticized for its dysfunction and infighting, according to the unofficial results on the Michigan Secretary of State website. Scott led with 25% of the vote, followed by Tebay Zemke at 24%, according to unofficial results on the Michigan Secretary of State's website. They are trailed by Republicans Julie Maday of Novi and State Sen. Roger Victory, who both received 23.6% of the vote. About 15,700 votes separated the second-place and third-place candidates. The Associated Press called the race for Scott and Tebay Zemke with a larger share of the vote. The state was still waiting on vote totals from Wayne County, a Democratic stronghold. All precincts in a county must be reported before the state posts them. Scott and Tebay Zemke appear to be benefiting from the "blue wave" that saw Democratic Party members elected up and down the statewide ballot in Michigan, from the U.S. Senate to governor to attorney general. If Scott and Tebay Zemke are reelected, the Democrats would hold onto their 7-1 board majority. Neither Scott
