Port Washington voters approved the school district’s 2015-16 budget on Tuesday, re-elected two board of education trustees and elected a newcomer to join the board.
The district’s $144,919,392 budget passed, 2,126 votes to 1,088, while board President Nora Johnson (1,957 votes) and Trustee Larry Greenstein (1,774) votes won new three-year terms.
The newcomer is Elizabeth Weisburd, who received 1,694 votes in defeating challengers David Sattinger (1,694 votes) and James Ansel (933 votes).
She replaces Trustee Vernon McDermott, who did not seek re-election.
Frank Russo, Adrienne Saur, Rich Sussan, Joel Katz and Arthur Wade also received one write-in vote apiece for trustee.
An additional, illegible write-in vote was also cast.
The budget carries a .59 spending increase of $851,475 in expenditures, as well as a $132,522,571 total tax levy, a 2.38 percent rise.
