Approved Ballot Items Set Tone for the Future of the
Burlington School District
The
District’s Fiscal Year ‘18 budget and $19 million infrastructure improvement
bond ballot items both passed by significant margins on Town Meeting Day.
Unofficial
results released by the Burlington City Clerk’s Office show that the budget was
approved by 3,905 - 2,717 votes and the bond passed by a 5,047 - 1,552 margin.
“The budget and bond were both thoughtfully developed by the
School Board to meet the needs of students as we look to the future,”
Superintendent Yaw Obeng said. “I want to thank the voters of Burlington for
supporting the vision of the District, and I look forward to sharing our accomplishments
in the coming year.”
The approved bond will be part of a new
capital improvement fund to address deferred maintenance items in schools
throughout the District. Implementation planning for this capital program will
begin in the coming months.
