"It's "Only" school elections" I'm sure you'll say but it sets a very dangerous precedent that so many Democrats are screaming about right now how Kavanaugh will not follow precedent. If you allow non citizens to vote in school elections, shouldn't they be allowed to vote in presidential elections since they pay taxes or some stupid crap like that.

No, there's actually a precedent in our history for allowing non citizens to vote in elections. It was a tool used to draw immigrants to new territories and states in the 1800's. A great way to Europeans with no history of voting to experience democracy and begin their role as (eventually) citizens.

In this case, it's nothing new. Some localities in Maryland allowed non citizen residents to vote in local elections, higher than just school board.
