Town Meeting
2008
A
Summary from the Vermont Superintendents Association
Each spring, Anne Montgomery at the
Superintendents Association strives to accurately and quickly collect tallies
on which school budgets get defeated and which pass. Thanks to her efforts, we present to you the budget
vote results from this year. As of Town
Meeting Day, the electorate approved 95% of the budgets proposed and
defeated 12. 251 school budgets for
school year 2007-08 have been voted on and 239 passed. For the second year in a row, Vermont
voters approved school budgets totaling less than 4.5% in spending
increases. Last year, the increase was
4.1%. This year’s increase cannot yet be
calculated exactly, because some towns have yet 
to vote.
