The polls have closed and the results are starting to come in.
It looks as though the Medford K-8 district’s proposed school budget has failed at the polls for the second year in a row. The Lenape Regional High School District’s proposed budget has failed as well, also for the second consecutive year.
According to unofficial results from the County, 2,451 voters said ‘yes’ to the K-8 district’s proposed budget, while 4,576 voters said ‘no’, defeating the budget. In the LRHSD, 5,487 voters said ‘yes’ to the spending plan, while 7,462 said ‘no’.
Two incumbents and one newcomer were elected to seats on the Medford K-8 Board of Education. Incumbents Ann Davidson and Katherine Santamore won back three-year seats on the Board. Newcomer Amy Duca also won a seat. Sal Cocivera had also been vying for a seat, but was not elected, according to unofficial results from Burlington County.
In addition the special referendum question Medford Township put on the ballot, to ask voters if the township could raise taxes about 25 percent, failed at the polls. There were 1,005 ‘yes’ votes and 5,439 ‘no’ votes, according to unofficial results released by Burlington County.
