district's proposed 2009-10 budget on Tuesday,
May 19. The final tally was 1,614 yes votes to
1,020 no votes. Results were announced shortly

their continued support of our schools,
especially during these difficult economic
times, said Superintendent of Schools Kevin
Baughman. It shows how much our community
values education.

That vote total was 1,623 yes votes to 986 no
votes.
