Voters approved a non-homestead operating millage for South Lyon Community Schools in Tuesday’s election.

It’s the school district’s operating millage and has a direct impact on the per-pupil foundation allowance that the district receives from the state.

The operating millage is for a ten-year period from 2025-2034 and maintains the existing 18-mill tax levy. The renewal would raise an estimated $15 (m) million for the general operations of the district in 2025.

The measure passed by a solid margin. The district contains areas of three counties - Oakland, Livingston, and Washtenaw.
