UNOFFICIAL RESULTS: Voters Approve Debt Exclusion Override to Fund New Hanlon-Deerfield School

At Town Election on Tuesday, October 26, 2021, Westwood voters appear to have approved a debt exclusion override to allow a property tax increase to fund the construction of a new, consolidated Hanlon-Deerfield school.

At Special Town Meeting on October 18, 2021, residents approved funding for the new school.  

Following that vote, a majority "yes" vote was needed this Tuesday in order to allow funding for the school to be collected by property taxes in excess of the limit set by Proposition 2 1/2.  

On Tuesday, residents have indicated approval, with a majority voting "yes" in every precinct, as shown by the chart of unofficial results below. Overall, 1,815 voted in favor, and 667 voted against.
