The Foundation for Saline Area Schools funds district-wide and building-specific initiatives, teacher grants, student-led grants and community partnership grants.
"Our goal is to enhance the quality of education in the Saline Area School District by providing money for 'extras' that cannot be funded by the general budget," said Stacey Rumpsa, Executive Director of the Foundation for Saline Area Schools. "It is because of our sponsors and generous donations that we can facilitate the innovative ideas that our teachers, students and staff create, making a big impact on our students' educational experiences."

Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
