Voters approved the Shelter Island School District’s revised budget following a special election on June 17 after securing a mandate from 502 voters of the 627 who cast a ballot.
The decision follows a stunning rejection of the initial budget proposal that pierced the tax cap by $500,000 and fell 40 votes short of approval last month. Had the budget failed to pass a second time, Shelter Island School would be forced to function on a contingency budget for the upcoming academic year.
