Join the Foundation for Saline Area Schools for a free luncheon, provided by Brewed Awakenings, to hear about recent grants that were awarded by the foundation throughout the district last year. The foundation benefits the entire school district by funding district wide and building specific initiatives, teaching grants, student led grants, and community partnership grants. This luncheon will be held at noon, Wednesday Oct. 30 at Liberty School, 7265 N. Ann Arbor St., in the gym. Check-in is at 11:45 a.m.
The foundation's goal is to enhance the quality of education in the Saline Area Schools District by providing money for “extras” that cannot be funded by the general budget. It is because of our sponsors and generous donations that the foundation can facilitate the innovative ideas that Saline's teachers, students and staff create, making a big impact on students' educational experiences.

Sunny, with a high of 77 and low of 55 degrees. Sunny during the morning, clear in the afternoon and evening,
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.
