Voters across the Finger Lakes made their voices heard on Tuesday, May 17 during the statewide school voting day.

According to a Wednesday release, the New York State United Teachers union reviewed 570 school budget votes and found 563 passed while seven failed, meaning 99% of budgets statewide were approved yesterday.

“When students thrive, we all thrive, and communities across the state have recognized that once again at the voting booth this year,” said NYSUT President Andy Pallotta. “There are still so many needs that must be addressed in public schools. With strong local budgets and leadership in place, districts can get to work helping students unlock their full potential.”

Below are the results of local district budget votes, proposition votes and school board elections broken down by county.
