Legislative Update 6/18/25

House Bill 335 proposes to eliminate the collection of inside millage for schools and municipalities. If approved, this would result in a cut of 487,556 per year for Fairport Harbor Schools. 

These funding cuts would begin January 2026. 

For Fairport Harbor Schools, this legislation would cause the district to cut programs, staff, services and extracurricular programs. If approved, the district would begin to identify immediate cuts along with discussing the need for new funding. 

While HB 335 is proposed as a stand-alone bill, the issue is complicated because the legislature also needs to pass HB 96 the budget bill by June 30, 2025. It is possible that changes proposed in HB 335 could be attached to the budget bill.

We want to ensure our Skipper Community is fully aware of the potential ramifications which could result from HB 335. 

We are including several resources to help with understanding HB 335 and its potential impact on our schools:
