March 12, 2019 ORCSD Election results
Congratulations to reelected school board Chair Tom Newkirk and reelected school board member Kenny Rotner.
The school budget passed 67.5% to 32.5%. Here's some history for perspective:
Percent YES 2015: 60.8%, 2016: 69%, 2017: 85%, 2018: 74%, 2019: 67.5%.
Congratulations to the district and the board.
ORESPA, secretaries and custodians, got their annual 2.5% raise for the next three years by a vote of 76.4% to 23.6%. That's a noticeably better margin than for the budget.
In Lee, everyone was elected and everything passed except the Town Center, which got 336 YES (43%) and 442 NO (57%), far from the 60% needed for passage. The citizen anti-nuclear weapon petition passed 481 YES (65%) to 258 NO (35%).
