SOUTH DENNIS – The voters of Dennis Township rejected a ballot question that would have appropriated nearly $1.3 million for the school district in the Tuesday, Nov. 7, election, meaning that teachers laid off at the end of the last school year will not be rehired or replaced.

The vote against the measure was 958 to 717. The funds were requested to restore the teaching positions that were cut and reduce class sizes to pre-layoff levels. The question, if passed, also would have provided courtesy busing for students who live less than 2 miles from school.
