An article to put up to $100,000 of surplus money in a special education trust fund squeaked by with 50.7 percent support.

NO TO A SEWER UPGRADE IN WINCHESTER:
Winchester officials will have to find another way to move forward with a $1.48 million project to complete upgrades to the town's sewage treatment plant. By a 284 -270 vote, residents rejected the project's third and final phase, which also included developing a plan to inspect the sewer collection system. It failed to get the 60 percent majority it needed to pass.
