2013 Town Meeting Results: School Ballot

A total of 3,744 residents cast ballots.

Many Windham voters in attendance were shocked to hear a wave of ballot items knocked down on Tuesday night.

Voters not only nixed a $31 million bond item for a new school and a corresponding turf field, but also warrant articles for a teacher contract and the operating budget. 

This is the second straight year that voters nixed many money items on the school ballot.
