The approved sources do not provide official vote totals for Lapeer-specific contests or proposals. That means the millage item can be described as a proposal that reached voters, but not as having passed or failed. The available reporting also does not establish a city-specific outcome for Lapeer.

School changes ahead of 2026-27

Separately, Lapeer Community Schools announced administrative staff changes for the 2026-27 school year on July 2. The district’s official news page identifies the announcement, but the approved source packet does not provide the individual appointments. The changes therefore signal preparation for the new school year without supporting a more detailed account of who moved into which role.

The district also posted fall 2026 sports information on June 24. For families and students planning for the coming term, the update places athletics among the district’s pre-year announcements, although the supplied material does not include specific schedules, participation requirements or team details.

The district’s official news page additionally listed an Aug. 8 athletic booster field day at CFI’s Fitzpatrick Field. The packet identifies the event and location but does not provide attendance information, a schedule or results.

Other scheduled county activity

The Lapeer County Road Commission scheduled a board meeting for Aug. 5, 2026, one day after the primary. Its 2026 notice also lists additional meetings during the year. The commission’s listed location is 820 Davis Lake Road in Lapeer, Michigan.

Another packet item concerns a 2026 paving-project solicitation issued by the Lapeer County Intermediate School District for its Education and Technology Center. The supplied information places that center in Attica and describes a work window from July 1 through Aug. 10, 2026. It should not be characterized as a City of Lapeer project.

Together, the documented developments show a local election that included a school-funding question, school-system planning before the fall term and scheduled county operations. The next clearly identified dates in the packet are the Aug. 5 Road Commission meeting and the Aug. 8 athletic booster field day; no verified canvassed election results are provided.

What the proposal would do

If approved, the millage would apply to eligible non-homestead property in the Clintondale Community Schools district. The district lists business property, rental property, vacant land and second homes as examples of property that may be subject to the levy.

Principal residences would not be subject to the proposed millage, according to the district’s explanation and the ballot language. Property owners should still verify both their school-district boundaries and the tax classification of their property before assessing how the proposal could affect them.

How much revenue is expected

Official election documents estimate that the 2-mill levy would generate approximately $369,428 during 2027. That figure is a one-year estimate, not a projection of total collections over the full five-year authorization period.

The proposal is district-wide rather than a tax applying automatically to every property in Clinton Township. Clintondale Community Schools identifies its administration building and multiple school facilities in Clinton Township, establishing the township’s local connection to the measure. The district also serves property and voters beyond the township’s boundaries.

Why the district is seeking the levy

Clintondale says Headlee rollbacks have reduced its operating levy over time. The district reports that the levy fell below 18 mills and contributed to approximately $42,000 less in funding during the 2025-26 school year.

The district says local operating tax revenue accounts for approximately 10% of its general fund budget. It identifies staffing, transportation, technology, repairs, maintenance, utilities, student supports and other daily operating needs as areas that could be supported if voters approve the proposal.

Those statements describe the district’s stated operational priorities; the available documents do not establish a line-item spending plan or guarantee that any particular staffing level, program or service would change.

What voters should check before August 4

Voters should confirm whether their property is located within the Clintondale Community Schools district and whether it is classified as homestead or non-homestead. Owners of eligible non-homestead property should review the proposed 2-mill operating tax as a potential increase beginning in 2027, while principal-residence owners are excluded from the proposed levy according to the district’s materials.

The August 4, 2026, election will determine whether the district receives the requested five-year authorization. The Macomb County Clerk’s ballot document and regional reporting from CBS Detroit both identify the Clintondale proposal as part of that election.
