Reallocation of Inside Millage

September 8, 2025

The Dover City Schools Board of Education approved the reallocation of 4.4 “inside mills” from general operating funds to permanent improvement (PI) funds to address long-term facility needs—such as roofing, heating and cooling systems, and future K-8 facilities.

Some of the most urgent needs include Dover Avenue Elementary, which is now 110 years old, and HVAC upgrades for all schools – all key priorities in the District’s Strategic Plan. By reallocating these existing resources, Dover City Schools can make smart investments today that could reduce the future tax burden for our residents.
