Voters in both towns set the budget amounts on May 28.
The budget represents an increase of $276,787 over the current $9.2 million budget. The increase is mostly attributed to a $165,000 state penalty for voters in Livermore and Livermore Falls for rejecting consolidation with the neighboring Jay school system. Jay voters also rejected consolidation.
