A budget that received little criticism during public board of education meetings leading up to its adoption in Pleasantville easily passed Tuesday.
Voters hit the polls at Pleasantville Middle School to weigh in on the $46,320,876 expenditure amount adopted by the school board last month; as well as to cast votes to fill the single expiring board position.
A total of 1,037 voters went to the polls today.

He continued, "I am excited to be working with the people I am working with now. I think we have a good group. It's going to be fun, it's going to be challenging."
