BRADFORD, Vt. — Voters added $100,000 to put toward food services in the Oxbow School District’s four schools during the annual school meeting on Wednesday night.

About 90 Newbury, Vt., and Bradford residents attended, according to Danielle Corti, the district’s school board chairwoman.

After a group of residents proposed the amendment, they passed the $21.5 million budget by voice vote. The district includes Newbury and Bradford elementary schools, Oxbow High School and the River Bend Technical Center.

The additional $100,000 will not have a significant effect on the tax rate, Corti said.

Bradford residents are now projected to see a property tax decrease closer to 5% instead of 6%, while Newbury residents should expect to see an increase closer to 3%, instead of the roughly 2% expected had the budget passed as proposed.

Corti cautioned that the final tax rates have not been calculated by the state.

Voters also approved $300,000 from the district’s surplus funds for the capital reserve fund and $250,000 from the district’s surplus funds for the Education Stabilization Fund during the meeting, which took roughly an hour and a half.

Corti, of Newbury, and Leanne Hatch, of Bradford, were reelected to three-year terms on the board by voice vote from the floor.
