District to Hold Hearing on Undisclosed Tax Levy
The district has scheduled a ‘Special Board Meeting – Summer Levy Hearing’ but has not published any details about the proposed tax levy in the public agenda. Parents and taxpayers have no information on how much money the district is asking for, what it will be spent on, or when it might be placed on the ballot.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a hearing for a new tax, but the Board has provided ZERO details. Email the Board of Education at ‘ board@detroitk12.org‘ and Superintendent Nikolai Vitti at ‘ nikolai.vitti@detroitk12.org‘: ‘Before any hearing on a new tax, the public deserves to see the full proposal. Publish the levy amount, the specific projects it will fund, and the projected tax increase for the average homeowner immediately.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Tax Increase

Board Reserves Right to Cut Public Comment Time by Two-Thirds
Under Item 4.01, the board’s rules state they have ‘final discretion’ to reduce public speaking time from three minutes down to one minute. This allows the board to silence parental opposition on controversial topics, like the new tax levy being discussed at this very meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Email the Board of Education at ‘ board@detroitk12.org‘: ‘Regarding Item 4.01, parents’ voices are not subject to the Board’s discretion. We demand a firm, guaranteed three-minute speaking time for all registered speakers at all meetings. Do not silence the public you are elected to serve.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Speak
