Neither Barnard nor Bridgewater were able to elect a school board representative because there were no candidates. Interested candidates, who must be registered voters in their towns, may send letters of interest to their Selectboards, said Rayna Bishop, the executive assistant at the Windsor Central Supervisory Union. The Selectboards would then appoint a qualified person to fill the vacancy until the next election.
Matt Maxham, of Woodstock, won a write-in election to be the district’s moderator, an uncompensated position. There were no contested races on the ballot.
Bridgewater rejected the school district budget at Town Meeting, but majorities in Barnard, Killington, Plymouth, Pomfret, Reading and Woodstock approved it. Counts from each town are commingled, so the budget passed.
Woodstock rejected an article that authorizes the Windsor Central Unified Union School District to borrow money not in excess of anticipated revenue for the school year. In every other town in the district, however, a majority of voters approved the article and so it passed.
