Did you know?
The ONLY local funding provided to Great Oaks is a 2.7-mill operating levy. This rate has not changed since 1988.
The actual millage that local homeowners and businesses pay has dropped over the years; it is currently 2.00 mills. That's $60 per year per $100,000 in assessed value, or $5 per month.
Annual Financial Report
Each year, Great Oaks publishes a financial report for our community to better understand where funding comes from and how it is spent. This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report has been honored for excellence by the Association of School Business Officials.
