Moriah voters approve $22.01 million budget; measure required 60% approval
Summary
District voters approved a $22,014,884 spending plan on May 20, 2025. The budget required a 60% supermajority because a 0% levy increase exceeded the statutory levy limit; the tally was 242–42 in favor.
Moriah Central School District voters approved the 2025–26 budget, a $22,014,884 spending plan, in the May 20, 2025 annual vote. The tally on Proposition #1 was 242 yes and 42 no; turnout for the election was 284 votes in total.
The district noted that adoption of the budget “requires a tax levy increase of 0%, which exceeds the statutory levy increase limit of -16.16% for this school fiscal year and therefore exceeds the state tax cap and must be approved by sixty percent of the qualified voters present and voting.” Because the budget exceeded the state cap, it required a 60% affirmative vote and achieved that threshold with roughly 85% approval among ballots cast.
Polls were open from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the Central Office Lobby; the district recorded 257 in-person votes and 27 absentee ballots. The District Clerk certified the results following the close of the polls. The transcript does not specify any contingent actions or a timeline for budget implementation beyond voter approval.
