The Troy School District celebrated the first day of school with a district-wide Back to School Picnic! This was a wonderful way to build our school community and kick off the year! Thank you to our Title Sponsors: TMP Architecture Firm and Barton Malow Builders, and our Additional Sponsors: T&I Credit Union, AT&T, Bank of America, MEA Financial Services, Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union, Ohana Wealth Advisory, GLP Financial Group, Equitable Advisors, MESSA, Troy Education Association, TESPA, and TESA.

The November 5 proposal has two parts:

• RENEWAL of the 18 mill NON-HOMESTEAD operating millage
• RENEWAL of the HOLD HARMLESS millage.
• All Michigan school districts are REQUIRED to levy a non-homestead operating millage of 18 mills to receive their full foundation allowance.
• The non-homestead operating millage will have NO EFFECT on a homeowner’s primary residence (the home in which a Troy homeowner lives). It is levied on businesses, second homes, vacant properties, and rental properties.
• Taxes WILL NOT increase for residents.

This is an opportunity for parents, educators, students, and community members to come together and discuss strategies for fostering resilience. Don’t miss this important conversation; be part of the change! More information to come...

Exciting progress is being made on both the Athens Tennis Courts and the Troy High Auxiliary Field. Hopefully, the Athens courts will be completed in the next few weeks after undergoing shot blasting, coating, striping, fencing, and final concrete work. Meanwhile, the Troy High Auxiliary Field is expected to be ready by the end of September. Although weather conditions have posed challenges, we're exploring all options to ensure the field is finished as soon as possible. We eagerly anticipate the day our students and community can enjoy these newly upgraded facilities!
