Abington voters approved a debt exclusion for the town’s share of the construction cost of the South Shore Regional Technical School in Saturday’s election.
The debt exclusion was approved by a vote of 305 to 151.
The new school was approved by voters in January by the nine-member towns and each town must pay its share of the construction cost.

These include committees adopting rules to improve public outreach and participation, making changes in the way vacancies are filled on elected boards, adjusting the town budget writing timeline, and allowing the police department to drop out of the state civil service program.
