residence and other property exempted by law, in Dansville Schools, Ingham County, Michigan, be renewed for a period of 7 years, 2021 to 2027, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the

BONDING PROPOSAL
Shall Eaton Rapids Public Schools, Eaton and Ingham Counties, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Forty-Five Million One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,175,000) and issue its
general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefor, in one or more series, for the purpose of:

remodeling, furnishing and refurnishing, and equipping and re-equipping school buildings; acquiring and installing instructional technology in school buildings; purchasing school buses; erecting,
furnishing, and equipping a gymnasium addition to Lockwood Elementary School; erecting, preparing, developing, improving, and equipping athletic fields, facilities, and structures; and preparing,

The following is for informational purposes only:

The estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2021, under current law, is 0.32 mill ($0.32 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a -0- mill net increase over the prior year’s levy. The
maximum number of years the bonds of any series may be outstanding, exclusive of any refunding, is thirty (30) years. The estimated simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire
this bond debt is 2.96 mills ($2.96 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation).

The school district expects to borrow from the State School Bond Qualification and Loan Program to pay debt service on these bonds. The estimated total principal amount of that borrowing is
$6,370,778 and the estimated total interest to be paid thereon is $3,595,862. The estimated duration of the millage levy associated with that borrowing is 15 years and the estimated computed millage
rate for such levy is 7 mills. The estimated computed millage rate may change based on changes in certain circumstances.

The total amount of qualified bonds currently outstanding is $33,225,000. The total amount of qualified loans currently outstanding is approximately $1,029.

(Pursuant to State law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited and the proceeds cannot be used for repair or maintenance costs, teacher, administrator or employee salaries, or other operating
expenses.)
