We're asking voters who live in the 10 school districts in Washtenaw County - including Ann Arbor Public Schools - to vote "yes" on a two-mill tax increase for public schools.

This millage will help fund current operations for the Ann Arbor Public Schools. It will only allow Ann Arbor to keep existing programs, not add new ones. Without it, the schools face serious cuts in teachers and possible closing of schools.

• The proposed millage would raise about $11 million for each of the next five years for AAPS.
• All of the money from the millage - 100% of it - will stay in Ann Arbor and the other school districts in Washtenaw County.
• All registered voters who live in the 10 school districts of the Washtenaw ISD can vote on this proposal.
• We're not alone. Voters in Kalamazoo, Monroe and Midland counties have passed similar proposals.
