BRADFORD, Vt. On the fourth attempt, voters in the Oxbow Unified Union School District approved a budget for the 2020-21 school year in Australian and absentee balloting on Wednesday.
Voters in the district’s two towns, Bradford and Newbury, approved the $16.8 million budget by a count of 552-351, with one spoiled ballot.
“I was really surprised by the margin,” Danielle Corti, chair of the Oxbow district’s board, said Thursday morning. “That, to me, meant we didn’t just win a few people over.”
The last vote, on Nov. 24, saw a higher turnout, as voters rejected the same budget, 593-578. For that vote, the two towns sent ballots to all voters, but for Wednesday’s vote, only voters who requested ballots from their town clerks received them.
