My thanks to those who paid attention and asked when and where to vote. Polls are open at the Calais town office from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. You can stop in, cast your ballot, and share a friendly greeting with your quietly heroic election volunteers on your way to or from work. U-32 has a solid, well-built budget that also positions us favorably for the future -- just what we need in order to weather the storms over Act 46. Please vote yes!
The following is taken from the warning, so you know exactly what you'll be asked to vote on:
The legal voters of the Union High School District No. 32 ("U-32"), a municipal corporation consisting of the Town School Districts of Berlin, Calais, East Montpelier, Middlesex, and Worcester, Vermont, are hereby notified and warned to meet in their respective towns on Tuesday, April 9, 2019, to vote by Australian ballot on Articles 1 through 3 as outlined below.
Polling Place and Time:

Article 1: Shall the voters of the Union High School District 32 approve the school board to expend $15,159,196 which is the amount the school board has determined to be necessary for the ensuing fiscal year?
