GHENT--School budgets passed in the five of the six districts in Columbia County. Results from New Lebanon are not yet available. In all other districts voters approved spending plans by sizable margins and also approved a handful of propositions that generated little opposition.
None of the districts in the county exceeded the tax cap set by the state.
In the Ichabod Crane Central School District an incumbent, Regina Rose, was defeated. In Taconic Hills, which had three open seats on the board and no candidates qualified for the ballot, three write-in candidates were elected.
