YORK, Maine An emergency meeting of the York School Committee has been called for Monday night to discuss what steps leaders should take after voters rejected one piece of the Fiscal Year 2022 budget proposal.
Warrant Article 39 would have authorized about $456,800 for All Other Expenditures related to the town s schools. But because York residents rejected the article, with a vote of 1,433-1,438 during Saturday s budget referendum, the appropriation for that line item will revert to the Fiscal Year 2021 amount: about $77,500.
The article funds non-instructional services, including employee benefits and the Volunteer Services Program that oversees community involvement in the York Schools, according to a statement of fact that appeared on the ballot.
