Bath School District Bill Defeated in Close Vote
In Bath a school district bill failed by a slim margin with 1643 voting no and nearly 1600 for passage. Voters favoring the bill would have raised taxes, while supporters argued for improved district funding. The measure is declared dead, with special elections unlikely before 1951. Central Grammar remains overcapacity as officials seek a smaller, debt‑conscious plan.
