Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The ballot language stated the proposal would have amounted to a 5.21-mill tax annually on average between 2026 and 2052, district records state.
50% : The proposed tax would have launched in 2026 at a rate of 3.95 mills.
43% : But district officials pointed out the life of the bond would have begun as earlier-approved township school bond taxes declined and then expired in three years. District records showed the rate for the now-failed bond tax would have reached a height of 5.35 mills annually from 2028-40, which would have resulted in a $267.50 tax bill yearly for a homeowner living in a house with a $50,000 taxable value.
