On March 10, 2020, Ingham Intermediate School District will have a question on the ballot regarding a Headlee Restoration for Special Education. The Special Education Millage has eroded .2438 mill since 1988. As a result, Ingham ISD has been collecting less revenue than originally approved by taxpayers for special education services. If approved, this restoration would cost homeowners with a taxable value of $62,500, approximately $1.27 per month. For more information, please visit Ingham ISD.
