Enhancement millage is the talk in Washtenaw County education circles

In Washtenaw County education circles, theÂ enhancement millageÂ on the ballot Nov. 3 will likely take center stage for the next few weeks.

A host of meetings are planned - both large public town hall type events (check with your local school district for days and times in your area) and smaller house-party fundraisers.

It's not just educators who are keenly interested in the issue. My story yesterday on the arguments both for and against the 2-mill tax is nearing 100 comments as I type this around 9 a.m.

We're planning more stories on the millage in the coming days. Please comment below or e-mail me at davidjesse@annarbor.com if there are specific questions you want answered.

And while you're here, vote in our poll.

Two school board meetings tonight have interesting items on the agenda.

The first is a board retreat in Ypsilanti. It will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the high school. The board will work on relations with the new superintendent and discuss key issues facing the district.

The other is at 7 p.m. at Dexter's Creekside Intermediate School. The school board will conduct its regular business, including receiving the audit of last year's finances.

As always, feel free to e-mail me or call me at 734-623-2534 with any story ideas. I'd love to get into more classrooms and report on the good teaching that's going on out there.
