MANCHESTER — Groups backing a ballot question giving students from each Manchester high school a seat on the school board say they are “overwhelmed” by the support they received from voters Tuesday.
The question, “Are you in favor of a student from each high school having a seat on the school committee as a non-voting member?”, was approved by voters with 74 percent of the vote, 13,590 to 4,705. The question is non-binding, meaning the outcome will be considered by officials as they discuss the issue, but they are not obligated to abide by it.
