A little over 1,100 voters in Saco, Dayton and Old Orchard Beach approved two referendum issues related to Regional School Unit 23 on Tuesday.

The district approved a $43.6 million education budget, which includes $846,715 in federal funds for the upcoming year starting July 1. This is an increase of about 2.7 percent over the current budget.

The budget will increase taxes for Dayton residents by $43.70 per $100,000 value and decrease taxes in Old Orchard Beach by $61.80 and in Saco by $10.10.

Voters also approved borrowing up to about $368,000 for a window wall replacement project at Loranger Middle School in Old Orchard Beach.
