💡 Did you know? On November 4, Brandywine will have a Sinking Fund Renewal on the ballot.
So, what’s the difference between a Sinking Fund and an Operating Millage?
✔️ Sinking Fund – pays for building repairs, safety improvements, technology, and facility upkeep.
✔️ Operating Millage – pays for day-to-day learning costs like staff, supplies, and classroom needs.
This renewal is not a new tax, though due to the Headlee rollback, less than a full mill (.9913) was levied on properties in 2024, so property owners may see a very slight increase. This is a continuation of existing support for our schools. 🐾

On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, Brandywine Community Schools will have a proposal on the ballot for a renewal of its Sinking Fund. A Sinking Fund is used to fund construction, renovations, and repairs throughout the district.
The renewal will be for ten years for a rate of 1 mill. This will not be a new tax, though due to the Headlee rollback, less than a full mill (.9913) was levied on properties in 2024, so property owners may see a very slight increase. This millage will provide estimated revenues of $424,000 during the 2026 school year if approved and levied.
