\"\"<\/a>JAMESTOWN – Tuesday was a successful day for passing school budgets for nearly every district in Chautauqua County.<\/p>\n

According to the Post-Journal<\/em>, all local school districts saw their budget approved by local voters except for the Clymer Central School District<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Public Schools<\/strong> – the county’s largest district – saw a light turnout but the results were overwhelmingly in favor of the $90.7 million budget that included no tax increase. The spending plan was approved 367 to 70. Meanwhile, voters also approved the lease and purchase of school buses by a vote of 386 to 48.<\/p>\n

Also for Jamestown, incumbent school board members Patrick Slagle<\/strong> and Joe Pawelski<\/strong> were both reelected to new three-year terms. They were the only candidate to appear on the ballot this year.<\/p>\n

In Clymer the $11.5 million budget was voted down by a vote of 580 to 459. The reason for the defeat was primarily due to the school board putting forward a spending plan that included a $13.3 percent tax increase over the current year.<\/p>\n

At the Southwestern School district<\/strong> residents approved a $29.2 million budget that included a 1.5 percent tax increase, while in Falconer<\/strong>, residents approved a $23.7 million budget that included a very slight increase in the tax levy.<\/p>\n

Frewsburg, Bemus Point, Panama, Chautauqua Lake, and Cassadaga Valley all saw their budgets approved as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
