The Bloomfield Hills Schools Foundation announced the recipients of the Spring 2022 BHSF Grants.

On August 2, 2022, voters in Bloomfield Hills Schools will be asked to consider a proposal to restore the Non-homestead Operating Millage. 

• Required for Bloomfield Hills Schools to receive full revenue per pupil.

• The majority of families in Bloomfield Hills Schools qualify for the Principal Residence Exemption and will not be affected by the restoration of 2 mills.

• The tax rate for Non Principal Residence Exemption properties (like business and rental property owners) will not increase. For a business with a taxable value of property established at $200,000, the tax cost would be $3,600 ($200,000 x 18 mills ÷ 1,000), the same tax rate applied today.  

• No levy increase, current tax rate (18 mills) since 2000.

Parents picking up from after school activities, please be mindful that you are not blocking access to the bus loop by double or triple parking while you wait for programs to dismiss. Emergency vehicles need direct access to the loop whenever students are in the building, which includes after school activities and programs. Thank you!
