Covert High School issued the following announcement.
On August 4, registered voters in Covert will have the opportunity to vote on a millage proposal that is a renewal and would maintain the current millage rate on all non-homestead property. This millage applies only to non-homestead properties and not primary residences.
The funds generated through this millage represent an estimated $7 million for the district or about 80% of the district’s total operating budget. The main two taxpayers that generate a large portion of this amount are Entergy Nuclear Palisades and New Covert Generating Company. Failure to pass the millage renewal would result in a significant loss in operating revenue for the school district beginning in 2021.
We hope that you vote on August 4, 2020.
Anyone with questions about the millage renewal proposal is encouraged to call Superintendent Yolanda Brunt at (269) 764-3710 for more information.
