We respect the voice of our commuity and appreciate everyone who participated!

Benzie County Central Schools acknowledges the results of the recent election in which voters did not approve the Operating Millage and Sinking Fund proposals. While we are disappointed, we respect the voice of our community and appreciate everyone who participated.

These proposals were intended to support district operations, maintain educational programs and services, and address important facility, safety, and transportation needs. While the proposals did not pass, the needs remain.   As we evaluate our financial priorities and available resources, adjustments to district operations and programming may be necessary. 

Our commitment to students remains unchanged. We will approach the months ahead seeking input from stakeholders, open communication, careful planning, and a continued focus on preserving the programs, services, opportunities, and staff that make the greatest difference for our students.

We are grateful for the dedication of our staff, the involvement of our families, and the continued support of our community. Together, we will navigate the challenges ahead and continue working toward the best possible educational experience for every learner.We are Benzie. We are Huskies. And we will continue moving forward together.
