In 2016, the Regional Agreement Amendment Committee was formed with citizens from our three towns to once again review and update the Regional Agreement of the Berkshire Hills Regional School District. They met for more than a year.

West Stockbridge is to vote on the matter at their meeting next week. And it is not certain that all three towns will agree to the process.
