This proposal will extend Hudsonville Public Schools' current debt levy for six additional years without raising the current tax rate. The district’s enrollment has grown from 3,555 students in 1994 to 6,450 in 2015 and is projected to exceed 7,000 students in 2020. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ANNUAL OPERATING MILLAGE RENEWAL PROPOSAL<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On May 5, voters will be asked whether to renew Hudsonville
Public School’s non-homestead millage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is an annual renewal generating approximately $4 million dollars of
operating revenue each year for our school district. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The non-homestead millage was established in 1994 with the
passage of Proposal A. Proposal A shifted a large portion of property taxes to
a state education tax and an increased sales tax.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a result of Proposal A, school districts
must levy 18 mills on non-homestead properties to receive the full per-pupil foundation
allowance funding from the state. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is important to note this is NOT a tax on primary
residences and is NOT a new tax.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a
proposal to continue the existing 18 mill assessment on only non-homestead
properties such as industrial and commercial property and second homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>State law requires school districts levy this
tax or lose a significant portion of their state per-pupil foundation allowance
funding, which would potentially require cuts to student programs.<o:p></o:p></div>

The West Michigan Enforcement Team (WMET) has seen at least 4 overdoses from heroin or heroin like substances
in the past year, significantly more than the last several years combined. While the percentage of youth
who report using heroin is historically low, a new trend in youth substance abuse among teenagers is
leading to increased heroin use in young adults. Youth misuse of prescription drugs at the middle school and
high school level has been steadily increasing over the past several years and Ottawa County Youth are
reporting they don’t see harm in using prescription medication without a doctor’s permission or
prescription. Early misuse of prescription medication can lead to the eventual use of illicit drugs. Join us for a
community presentation on the link between prescription drugs and
heroin and to find out ways to prevent early misuse of prescription
medication.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564601475487408000.post-71258485916844720072015-01-19T08:34:00.001-08:002015-01-19T08:41:25.834-08:00Planning for Enrollment Growth<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

The Operating Millage Renewal Proposal is something that is before our voters every year. It provides approximately $3.9 million dollars of operational funding. In a time where our foundation grant is back to 2007 levels, these dollars are vital to our programing for children. Please remember this is not a millage increase and is not applied against principal residence property.</span></div>

They are blessed to have incredibly talented and caring teachers and staff members working with them on a daily basis.

Please remember to vote on May 6th!</span></div>

Michigan on March 4, 5 and 6 . The PLAN test will be administered to all Freshmen and Sophomores on the morning of March 5. The PLAN test is a practice ACT test.<br />
<br />
Because of the high stakes nature and importance of the MME, we desire to provide the best possible testing environment for our students. For this reason, there will be no school for Freshmen and Sophomores on Tuesday, March 4 as well as the morning of Thursday, March 6. On Thursday, March 6, a modified bus schedule will be run for the delayed start.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">MME Schedule for Freshmen </span></b></div>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>TUESDAY, MARCH 4 </b>- NO SCHOOL </li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5</b> - </li>
<ul>
<li>PLAN TEST IN THE A.M. At 7:50, all freshmen students should report to the Freshman Campus classroom assigned for the PLAN test. Classroom assignments are posted outside room 901. </li>
<li>3RD AND 4TH HOUR CLASSES STARTING AT 11:35 </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>T<b>HURSDAY, MARCH 6</b> - </li>
<ul>
<li> DELAYED START – No breakfast or lunch served </li>
<li>1ST, 2ND AND 5TH HOUR CLASSES STARTING AT 11:05 </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is critical that students take the PLAN assessment seriously because it:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Helps students measure their current academic development in preparation for the actual ACT test that is taken in 11th grade. </li>
<li>The data gives us an opportunity to measure this testing group’s overall academic progress in which it will ultimately be used for building school improvement plans. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Please discuss with your child its importance as well as the following to be prepared for the<br />
PLAN:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>They MUST be on time! Once the testing begins, they cannot enter the room. </li>
<li> Once students are in the room, they are NOT allowed to leave. If they need a graphing calculator, they must bring it with them ahead of time. </li>
<li>Get plenty of sleep the night before the test. </li>
<li>Eat breakfast. </li>
<li>Follow directions exactly. </li>
<li>Don’t spend too much time on any single question. For hard ones, choose the answer you think is best and move on. </li>
<li>Just like the ACT, THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR GUESSING. BE SURE TO ANSWER EVERY QUESTION. </li>
</ul>

The Michigan Department of Education announced that the release of the fall 2013 9th Grade MEAP score report will be delayed until early March. Unfortunately, we will not be able to deliver them at the Class of 2017 Orientation Night (as we did in past years). When the reports are available, we will send them home with your child. If you would prefer to pick up your child's report, please call the Freshman Campus Office at 669-1510.</div>
