Voters rejected school budgets for the Red Bank Regional, Little Silver and Middletown school districts Tuesday, but approved the Red Bank local district spending plan by a 10-vote margin, according to unofficial data from Monmouth County election officials.

The budget for the two-school Red Bank local district pulled in 411 votes in favor and 401 votes against, figures indicate.

Fewer than 30 percent of Monmouth County districts saw their budget questions approved, the lowest in at least a decade, the Asbury Park Press reports, citing unofficial results.

Here are the tallies for area districts. In all cases, the “question” refers to the issue of whether to approve the proposed spending plan.
