Voters in Brighton Tuesday failed to provide the necessary support for a school budget that would have exceeded the state property tax cap, sending district leaders back to develop another spending plan.

Brockport also saw its budget fail, apparently the result of protests from one of its labor unions.

The proposed $82 million spending plan in Brighton would have raised the tax levy by 4.89%, more than double Brighton's limit of 2.34%. Approving such a budget requires 60% approval; the final unofficial tally was 1,617 (55%) in favor and 1,335 (45%) opposed.

The district tried to make the case that the increase was inevitable due to what it described as unfair state funding and also bills coming due on the extensive capital project voters approved earlier.

Residents voted to approve two other propositions on the ballot, but by law when the budget fails in an override, additional propositions cannot, either.

In Brockport, the budget failed for the second time in four years, in large part due to a labor dispute with its teacher's aides and paraprofessionals. The UPSEU union for support staff mounted a social media campaign criticizing the district's administrative spending, just as it did in 2016.

Union leader Al Hansel could not be reached for comment Tuesday night; in a statement, the district said it would return to its budget committee to determine its next steps.

"Obviously we're a little disappointed, but we'll get together and talk about it," Board President Terry Ann Carbone, who won her uncontested re-election bid, said.

Districts whose budget proposals fail the first time around can offer a second budget up for a vote, either at the same spending level or reduced. If it fails again, an austerity budget goes into place automatically.

Brighton was the only district in Monroe County, and one of only 17 in the state, seeking to exceed the tax cap. All other local school funding plans and additional propositions passed, except for Brockport.

Lines to vote were out the door in Brighton all the way until polls closed at 9 p.m.; results were not reported until 11:15 p.m.

In Webster, incumbents Tammy Gurowski, Linda Dioguardi and Maria Rigillo easily fended off a challenge from three other candidates. Amy Thomas and Peter Sullivan did the same in Pittsford.
