The RSU 73 school board read detailed town-by-town returns from the April 28, 2026 district referendum and voted to approve the computation and declaration of votes for the results.
The board reported totals for Article 1 (the school budget) and Article 2 (a boiler project). Town-level tallies were read aloud; combined totals reported in the meeting were 824 affirmative, 398 negative, and 25 blanks, and the board stated both articles passed.
Following the vote totals, the board moved to approve the formal computation and declaration and to issue the tax assessment warrant for fiscal year 2026–27. The motions were seconded and approved; board members were reminded to sign certified copies of the declaration and warrant before leaving the meeting.
Why it matters: Certification of referendum results is the formal step that allows the district to proceed with budget implementation and assessment distribution to member municipalities for the coming fiscal year.
The board recorded its approval of the declaration and the warrant during the meeting.
