Residents of the Farmington-based school district, who rejected the board’s first attempt, will get to weigh in on the new version July 21, followed by another referendum.

After two meetings to make significant budget cuts, the board will reconvene to address the rejected $32.25 million budget.

After a feud between the teachers association and the school board resulted in a failed budget, Kingfield residents began looking into proceeding independently.

School members representing Litchfield, Sabattus and Wales agreed to send an $18.5 million budget package to voters.

Ross Clair of Chesterville asked, “Do we have any meat and potatoes where we’re going to make some cuts tonight?”

Avon passed budget 17-3, Kingfield 54-10, Strong 54-18, and Phillips 18-17.
