School Budget Validation Questions:
- Do you favor approving the Town of Cape Elizabeth school budget for the upcoming school year that was adopted at the last school budget meeting of the Town Council?
_______________________________________
The following is a non-binding expression of opinion for the consideration of the School Board and the Town Council:
- I find the school budget adopted at the May 25, 2010 Town Council's school budget meeting to be:
- Too High _____
- Acceptable _____
- Too Low ______
________________________________________
Do you wish to continue the budget validation referendum process in Cape Elizabeth for an additional three years?
Informational note:
A "Yes" vote will require Cape Elizabeth to continue to conduct a referendum to validate its annual school budget for the next three years.
A "No" vote will discontinue the budget referendum for at least three years and provide instead that the annual school budget shall be finally adopted at a meeting of the Town Council.
