Area school districts are asking voters to weigh in on school budgets for the fiscal year starting July 1.

Regional School Unit 23 is holding a public hearing Tuesday to discuss the district’s proposed $43.7 million school budget. Registered voters in Saco, Old Orchard Beach and Dayton are invited to weigh in on the proposal, which is about a 3 percent increase over the current budget.

The hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday in the cafeteria at Saco Middle School. A referendum vote to finalize the budget is scheduled for June 7.

Regional School Unit 21 is asking residents of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel to vote on the $35.7 million district budget on Tuesday.

The referendum also asks voters to decide on a $1.2 million buyout from the district’s contract with Thornton Academy Middle School, cost sharing within the district and renovation funds for the middle and high schools.
