Berkshire Hills approves budget, will ask state to vaccinate teachers

STOCKBRIDGE — As it begins to look toward a gradual reopening of in-person school and grapples with coronavirus pandemic complications, the Berkshire Hills Regional School District on Thursday quickly approved its fiscal 2022 budget. At a virtual public hearing, the School Committee voted unanimously for net operating costs of $28.3 million, and a capital budget of $1.96 million. Less state and other aid, the total net assessment to Great Barrington, West Stockbridge and Stockbridge, is $24.7 million, a 3.2 percent increase over this year. Great Barrington pays 75 percent of those costs, since it sends the majority of students to district schools. Because of a complex state formula, and the number of students from each town, Great Barrington will see a nearly 5 percent hike over fiscal 2021, an $18.4 million assessment; Stockbridge’s increase will be over 7 percent, to $3.2 million; and West Stockbridge will see a 3 percent decrease, also at $3.2 million.

Berkshire Hills working with skeleton crew, presents lean budget

STOCKBRIDGE — Amid some gains, concerns of “learning loss” and a “skeleton” crew due to COVID-19 fears, the Berkshire Hills Regional School District’s School Committee on Thursday presented its proposed new budget for 2021-2022. Superintendent Peter Dillon said the district’s priority for next year is full in-person learning, and that educators will have to address “pandemic impacts” to students like “isolation, mental health, disconnection.” “And I have to say this very carefully: issues connected to learning — learning loss,” he added. For what Dillon said is a “lean” budget, operating and capital expenses are up 3.2 percent over last year in a $24.7 million budget. Last year’s increase was 4.7 percent.
