NORTH NORWICH – On Monday, each of the 16 component schools in the Delaware-Chenango-Madison-Otsego BOCES district cast their vote on the administrative component of the cooperative education organization’s 2011-12 budget.

The proposed spending plan passed by a vote of 14 to 2. The two dissenting votes were cast by Hancock and Unadilla Valley.

According to UV Board of Education President William Lyons, his board voted no because they felt BOCES wasn’t “diligent enough” in reducing spending.
