Berkshire Hills to reapply for construction money after state rejects Monument High — again

Monument Mountain Regional High School in Great Barrington, built in 1968, is plagued by problems including a leaky roof, balky heating and cooling systems and dated science labs. The school district is reapplying for state money to overhaul the school after yet another rejection from the Massachusetts School Building Authority.

GREAT BARRINGTON — The state agency that funds school construction projects has rejected the most recent application to renovate or rebuild Monument Mountain Regional High School, saying it is overwhelmed by needy schools across the state.
In an April 14 letter to Berkshire Hills Regional School District Superintendent Peter Dillon, the Massachusetts School Building Authority did not give details about why Monument didn’t achieve eligibility in the 2020 application round. The agency said that, last year, it had received 71 “statements of interest” from 52 school districts, and in reviewing those, had to prioritize those with “the greatest and most urgent need.”
