Based on unofficial results, voters have approved the Mott Community College (MCC) operating millage renewal in Tuesday’s election. Results will become official after canvassing, expected Nov. 17.
“This result is a powerful vote of confidence in Mott Community College and in the students, faculty and staff who make this college what it is,” said Mott Community College President Shaunda Richardson-Snell. “It reflects our community’s belief in the value of affordable, accessible education and the difference MCC makes in the lives of local families and the strength of our local workforce. I want to thank our voters for investing in our college and our community’s future, our students, whose success is the reason we do this work, and our faculty and staff for their dedication. I also thank our Board of Trustees for their steady leadership, and our partners, alumni and supporters, who spoke up for MCC and helped share the facts. Our mission is to provide Extraordinary Student Experiences through Extraordinary Employee Engagement, and this community has just shown how much it values that work.”
The renewal helps MCC continue providing quality programs, student support services and the learning environment the community expects. The college will use these resources responsibly and transparently, with a focus on student success and stewardship of the public’s trust.
On November 3, 2026, voters residing within the boundaries of the Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD) will consider the renewal of MCC's voter-approved operating millage. This proposal renews the property tax support previously approved by voters in 2016, sustaining the everyday programs, services and workforce training that keep our community growing.
For over a century, Mott Community College has been a cornerstone of higher education and an economic driving force in our district. Delivering high-quality, accessible education and improving our students’ overall quality of life remains at the heart of our mission.
We are deeply committed to investing in the community we serve. This millage renewal is about maintaining the foundational funding that supports our diverse academic programs, keeps our main campus and extension sites operating smoothly and ensures MCC remains affordable and attainable for everyone.
— Shaunda Richardson-Snell, President of Mott Community College
