PARIS — Voters approved the $35.1 million Oxford Hills School District budget  at the polls Tuesday. The tally was 1,695 yes and 859 no.

Results were: Norway, 351-204; Waterford, 95-54; Harrison, 232-125; Hebron, 61-21; Paris, 407-214; West Paris, 103-45; Otisfield, 156-52; Oxford 290-144.

Superintendent Rick Colpitts said Tuesday night that passage of the budget “will allow us to maintain programming.”

The budget includes money for an assistant special education director, a shared principal for Oxford and Otisfield elementary schools, and busing Harrison prekindergarten-through-grade-two students to Waterford Memorial School and students in grades three to six from Waterford to Harrison Elementary School. The plan would save about $95,000 in fiscal year 2012-13, which begins July 1.
