Residents to vote for Select Board, School Board

Buxton voters will choose two for the Select Board, one Buxton representative to the SAD 6 Board of Directors and decide on a $58.8 million school budget when the polls open Tuesday, June 14.

Cliff Emery, a former member of the Select Board, is challenging Chairperson Tom Peters and board member Mark Blier for a three-year term.

SAD 6 Vice Chairman Nathan Carlow hopes to fend off Vickie Shane for a three-year seat on the School Board.

Uncontested races include those for three-year terms on the Planning Board and Budget Committee.

The polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Buxton Town Hall, 185 Portland Road.
