History
The district was founded in 1905.
In 2013 the voters approved maintaining the 1 mill sinking fund tax. This rate had been levied since 2002.
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.
In 2015 Washtenaw County Circuit Judge Carol Kuhnke ruled that the Ann Arbor district can continue banning guns on its campus properties.
