Gorham voters on Tuesday approved the Gorham School Committee’s $60.4 million budget, 3,216-2,188, for the next fiscal year beginning July 1, an approximate 5% increase from this year’s $57.5 million.

The school budget combined with the municipal budget totals $88.4 million and will raise the portion of the town’s tax rate to support education by 8.9%.

The budget will contribute to professional development for teachers, maintain reasonable class sizes, update school facilities and infrastructure and other measures.
