    "name": "Port Huron Area School District Building and Site Sinking Fund Tax Proposal",
    "description": "This proposal, if approved by the electors, will allow the School District to levy a building and site sinking fund tax, the proceeds of which will be used to make improvements and repairs to the School District’s facilities, including security improvements and the acquisition or upgrading of technology, the acquisition of student transportation vehicles, trucks and vans and parts, supplies, and equipment used for the maintenance of these vehicles and other purposes, to the extent permitted by law. Pursuant to State law, the expenditure of the building and site sinking fund tax proceeds must be audited, and the proceeds cannot be used for teacher, administrator or employee salaries, maintenance or other operating expenses.
