A slim majority of voters decided Tuesday to consolidate SADs 38 and 48.
The vote passed by just 35 votes in Etna and Dixmont, the two towns of SAD 38. The final SAD vote tally was 647-612.
There were more ayes in the SAD 48 towns of Corinna, Newport, Palmyra, Plymouth, St. Albans and Hartland, where the vote to consolidate passed by 3,448 to 2,811.
Despite the closeness of the vote in Etna and Dixmont, the chairman of the SAD 38 board said Wednesday that the towns wouldn’t have a recount.
“It passed,” said Philip Dolan, board chairman. “That’s democracy. It’s a majority.”
