For the second consecutive year, a Lyndonville resident will circulate a petition to change the way residents vote on the Lyndon Town School's budget.
Carol Fischer, the former owner of All-Around Tanning & Body Salon, was upset with the school board after they failed to take up her previous petition. She circulated a petition to residents asking them to switch from voting on the school budget by voice vote to Australian ballot. Each of the last two years, a budget of more than $10.5 million was passed by an assembly of 100 people or less. Fischer feels that it's important for everyone to have a chance to vote on the budget.
Caledonia North Supervisory Union Superintendent Victoria Scheufler explained that the school board did not take up Fischer's petition because it was submitted less than a month before Town Meeting Day, and because of some unclear wording. Scheufler explained that information for forming and circulating a petition is available online through the Secretary of State's web site.
