Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor residents have another opportunity for their voices to be heard at the polls regarding the school budget. The Community School District (CSD) Budget Validation Referendum will be held June 10. 

May 8, Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor voters approved the first of two public votes for the proposed $11.4 million CSD budget for the 2026 fiscal year, as reported in the Register.  

The second vote, the budget validation referendum, will take place June 10 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor town halls. Absentee ballots are available by contacting one's town office.
