SOUTH DEERFIELD The Frontier Regional School District School Committee voted Tuesday to accept a total budget of $11.8 million for fiscal 2022, representing a 3% or $341,000 increase over the current year.
Business Administrator Shelley Poreda explained the school district took a level-service approach when developing the budget.
“We looked at existing staffing, programming and services from fiscal year 21 and we replicated those over to FY22 as our starting point,” she said. “From there, we looked at any contractual obligations we have, which in the case of Frontier is for teachers and instructional assistants.”

Pandemics are no longer just something today’s students learn about in history or science class.
The COVID-19 public health crisis has upended normalcy around the world and thrown a monkey wrench into the routines and plans of high school students. Winners of Superintendent’s Awards typically have the recognition commemorated with a banquet dinner, but large gatherings are a no-no until the novel coronavirus is under control.
