Scarborough voters will go to the polls Tuesday to vote for a second time on a school budget that has been reduced by $236,000 from the initial proposal. The revised $47.2 million school budget proposal is $1.3 million, or 2.9 percent higher, than the fiscal 2016-2017 school budget. Voters rejected the $47.4 million school budget on June 13 – an action that by state law requires a second school budget validation vote. “The first vote on the school budget was a resounding rebuke by the voters,” Scarborough Town Manager Thomas Hall wrote in a letter to the community posted on the town’s website.
