Only one school budget fails in annual vote; Keene to revote
KEENE — Budgets for all school districts except Keene passed in this year's Tri-County school vote. The Keene Central School budget failed to get the 60 percent supermajority vote it needed, since the spending plan was more than its 3.03 percent state tax cap by 1.62 percent. The budget would have been a 4.65 percent tax levy hike for residents. Keene Superintendent Dan Mayberry said the budget will be adjusted before a second vote is scheduled. 'Keene Central School will be going out with a new budget amount and re-vote,' he said by email. The election Tuesday was to vote on school spending plans for 2025-26, school board members and propositions such as buying new school buses. Clinton CountyPLATTSBURGH Budget: 719 yes, 331 no.
