The moderator thanked the district clerk and election workers; no further formal actions were recorded in the provided transcript.
The moderator of the South Country Central School District meeting announced that the proposed budget passed after a second vote, reporting 2,018 yes votes and 1,300 no votes for a total of 3,318 ballots cast, or 60.82% in favor. "So we have we're happy to announce the results of this particular budget vote," the moderator said, and thanked Chris, whom the moderator identified as the district clerk, and the election workers for their efforts.
The moderator said the session represented a second round of voting and thanked staff and volunteers for their diligence over two days. "This is the second time around, and thank you for your diligence for the second day in a row, the second vote in a row," the moderator said.
Earlier in the meeting, Chris and another participant handled procedural items including corrections to box numbering and counts; Cathy supplied a ballot identifier that was corrected from 128 to 148 and the box in question was identified as Box 8. Those procedural clarifications preceded the formal announcement of the tally.
The transcript provided no motion language, sponsor names, or recorded roll-call by member. The document records the vote totals and the moderator announcing that the budget "passes," but it does not specify the legal threshold required for passage or other statutory details. The transcript also contains a minor formatting/transcription artifact in the announcement line (rendered as "33 18"), which was interpreted as the total of 3,318 ballots consistent with the reported yes/no counts.
