Good morning, this is Hannah with Chalkbeat Detroit.
The crucial operating millage on the ballot for the Detroit Public Schools Community District appeared headed to victory, according to unofficial election results from Wayne County Wednesday morning. If this holds up, this means the district will be able to raise as much as $120 million in tax revenue for operating costs.
In Michigan, Democrat Jocelyn Benson and Republican John James won their respective primaries Tuesday and will face off in the November general election.
Also, 700 people tuned in Monday night to a community engagement meeting in which DPSCD officials responded to an influx of questions from the public after a content creator posted a series of viral videos calling out the school system.
