Last week, the School Committee took some time to look at the difficulties the district will face in the next 10 to 20 years. First-year Superintendent Jason McCandless used the opportunity of an often routine report on enrollment to talk about concerning long-term decline in student population that the two-town district can foresee over the next couple of decades. He pointed to projections from the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission that show the district s enrollment falling to 783 students, kindergarten through 12th grade, by 2030. That would be a loss of 296, or 27 percent of the current K-12 population of 1,079. McCandless said the BRPC has a good track record for predicting such population trends, and that the district needs to start thinking about what those impacts will be.
