GORHAM — Seventy-five percent of the 129 voters on hand at Thursday night’s annual Gorham-Randolph-Shelburne Cooperative School District’s annual meeting March 10 voted in favor of a bond issue of $190,000 to put in a 100-kilowatt solar array at the Edward Fenn Elementary School at 169 Main Street.
Only a three-fifths majority vote (60 percent) was required for passage. Earlier, the Sun had incorrectly reported a two-thirds threshold.
