The issues: Lake Orion Schools needs to cut $7.5 million from the district budget for the upcoming school year. The district also faces financial challenges from the state of Michigan funding cuts. In addition, voters turned down a $25.5 million bond in February that would have funded improvements in technology, security, buses and buildings.
Poll Hours: Polls are open from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday.
