Residents in the two-town district voted 3,832 to 2,928 – or 57 percent to 43 percent – against the proposed projects, including a $2.4 million plan to add classroom space and repair the portico and parking lot at the middle school and a $3.8 million athletic complex with six fields and a running track.

They voted 5,340 to 1377 against the synthetic turf field.
