School Budgets Back for Second Chance

Three school districts—Berlin, Cambridge, and New Lebanon—are heading back to the polls this Tuesday for a second chance at passing their budgets after initial votes failed. Berlin’s plan shrinks to a 2% tax hike from 2.16%, Cambridge pushes for a 5.5% increase (over the state cap, needing supermajority), and New Lebanon revisits a 6% hike that narrowly missed the 60% threshold. If any fails again, they’re locked into a contingency budget with no new tax hikes and looming cuts—school boards only get two votes.
