ConVal’s school budget failed by four votes at the polls Tuesday and will revert to the default, pending the possibility of a recount.
The district’s proposed 2021 operating budget of $52,583,177 failed, 1,625 to 1,621. This puts the budget in a default situation, Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders confirmed in a statement Wednesday morning. The default budget is $51,065,984, or $1,517,193 less. ConVal’s budget was last voted down eight years ago, Rizzo Saunders said.
Voters in the District could request a recount, Rizzo Saunders wrote Wednesday morning, but ConVal has determined that the district itself is not obligated to perform one. Ten registered voters would need to request a recount, School Board chair Rich Cahoon announced Wednesday morning.
