Election results – Burlington school referendum falls flat

With results still pending from the Town of Dover, all three questions on the Burlington Area School District Referendum appeared to have failed by a large margin as of 9:20 p.m.

The first question, regarding building a new $68.3 million middle school and addressing maintenance needs throughout the district, got 3,095 no votes compared to 2,049 yes votes. Question 2, regarding expanded athletic space, failed 3,723 no votes to 1,401 yes. Question 3, to build a new performing arts center, fell 3,651 no votes to 1,506 yes votes.

Only votes from the Town of Dover have yet to be added, and there are not enough votes there to change the overall results.
