Only one local school budget – Fredonia Central School’s – was defeated by voters on Tuesday.

Overall, voters approve 96.6% of school district budgets passed, according to the state School Boards Association, while 99% of budgets with tax levies falling within the state’s 2% tax cap passed.

Other than the Fredonia budget, the results of a poll of Clymer, Sherman and Panama voters is the result many are most interested in. Those results haven’t been released yet. Clymer Central School officials said in a Facebook post on Wednesday that the results from all three districts will be held until all the results are in from all three districts.

“From past experience, we know that once results are shared, the natural question becomes, ‘What’s next?’ Clymer officials wrote. “Because we cannot move forward alone, it is essential that we collaborate with our neighboring districts on a thoughtful plan for next steps. Without that collaboration, frustration can build. Our goal is to move forward with care, cooperation, and preparedness–no matter what the results may indicate. I appreciate your continued patience and will share the survey findings with you very soon.”
