After months of tension and trauma, Hannibal’s proposed 2010-11 school budget passed by a comfortable margin Tuesday night. The budget cuts into academic programs and band but preserves varsity sports. Voters also decided to reduce the Board of Education from 9 members to 7 and elected 3 people to seats on the board.
Kathleen Allen was the top unofficial vote getter, followed by incumbent Jim Tschudy. The Oswego City School District’s budget was also approved by the voters Tuesday night.
Fulton’s budget fell 595-587, a turnout that Superintendent of Schools Bill Lynch said was “not a high turnout, but a good turnout.” In Hannibal, the budget passed 528 – 435.
