School Budget Validation Referendum [notice of amounts]

Do you favor approving the Town of Cape Elizabeth school budget for the upcoming school year that was adopted at the latest school budget meeting of the Town Council?

YES
NO

The following is a non-binding expression of opinion for the consideration of the School Board and Town Council.

I find the school budget adopted at the May 13, 2019 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?
