Live Breaking News & Updates on Berkshire Hills Regional School District Thursday

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. ....
