LIVERMORE – Voters here passed all SAD 36 articles Tuesday, but with Livermore Falls not reporting results by late Tuesday it was unknown if that $9.15 million school spending plan fiscal 2008 would pass.

The votes of both Livermore and Livermore Falls are added together to determine if the budget passes.

The budget represents an increase of $478,656 over this year but is expected to deliver a decrease in the district’s education tax rate to both towns.

The proposed budget for school operations for kindergarten through grade 12 is $9 million. The additional money included in the budget is $55,000 for food service, which includes continuing to pay off an accrued debt for program losses over several years, and $91,760 for SAD 36’s share of the adult education program it shares with Jay.

The state’s share of the budget is estimated to be $5.7 million if voters approve spending about $3.1 million in local money.

The budget reflects increases in salaries, health insurance costs, fuel costs and returning to two bus runs from a single-run system, among other items. It also represents no loss of jobs, but there is some shifting of personnel.
