Pat-Med School Budget, Propositions Pass

The proposed $162 million 2012-13 school budget passed Tuesday with a vote of 1988-1402.

Anthony O’Brien, Christine Rignola and William LaVelle officially won the three open Board of Education seats in the unopposed elections.

LaVelle’s write-in opponent, Anthony Russo, received only 469 votes to LaVelle’s 1399.

Also passing was proposition 2, 1730-1145, which will change future Board of Education elections to an “at large” format where the top vote getters will get spots instead of specific seat challenges.

Proposition 3 passed 1756-1137 to allow previously approved funds to be used toward capital projects.
