Berkley Schools Impact
If approved on the August 4, 2026 ballot, the top priority for Berkley Schools would be to invest the additional funds in attracting new staff members and retaining our outstanding staff. If the Millage passes, the Board of Education has committed to use 90% of the funding for staffing. Additional priorities include: maintaining small class sizes, supporting social and emotional well-being, closing special education funding gaps, and more.
