History
The district was founded in 1905.[4]
In 2013 the voters approved maintaining the 1 mill sinking fund tax.[5] This rate had been levied since 2002.[6]
As of April 2015 the district's overall millage was 2.45 mills. It was scheduled to decrease, but the ballot for the May 5 election included an extension to the millage. District officials stated they would use the millage to pay for transportation and infrastructure upgrades, worth a total of $33 million.[7]
In 2015 Washtenaw County Circuit Judge Carol Kuhnke ruled that the Ann Arbor district can continue banning guns on its campus properties.[8]
Demographics
As of 2015 the district had 16,815 students. As of that year there are about 64 languages and 85 countries of origin represented in the student body.[4]
