Chino Valley School Board members.

The Chino Valley School District Budget override has been voted down.

Out of 5952 ballots cast, a decisive 3883 (65.24%) voted against the override, while 2069 (34.76%) in favor of the override. Voter turnout was at 51.5%.

The Chino Valley Budget Override wasn't the only proposition that was voted down by an overwhelming majority in Yavapai County. Sedona had a proposition on the ballot that would allow their City Council to select the Mayor, instead of a direct election to choose the leader of the City. With 2614 votes against, to 633 votes in favor of the proposal, it also went down with a 80.51% - 19.49% margin.

Also in Sedona, Dennis Rayner won the two-year council seat with a 17% margin of victory; Barbara Litrell, Mike Ward and Daniel McIlroy won four-year council seats; and Rob Adams will continue to serve as Mayor for another two years.

In Clarkdale, Home Rule passed, with 626 votes in favor to 254 votes against. Bill Regner and Curt Bohall won seats on the Council.

And in Jerome, five candidates for Council came out on top: Jay Kinsella, Christine Barag, Lisa Rappaport, Lewis Currier and Anne Bassett.

The school district wants more money but they can spend $20,000 for a new sign. Regardless of where the money came from, couldn't it have been better spent? Wouldn't that money have kept one more teacher for another year? Perhaps this is why the people didn't want to spend more tax money on schools.
