Budget crunch hits home

I guess that vote no on Question #1 in 2008 didn't work out too well. Of course re-electing the same nitwits in Boston every two years doesn't either.  (7 hrs ago | post #2)

Selectmen to consider charter school resolution

The reimbursement issue needs to be resolved. Right now it is cheaper to send a student to another district, which doesn't make sense and all too often those small class sizes are all of a sudden large classes. The last couple of times town jobs were posted in GB there were over thirty applicants per position. That should tell people something.  (Tuesday | post #2)

Staff cuts forecast at Berkshire Hills schools

They can stop busing school choice kids around from one district to the next, remember by going to another district makes it the responsibility of the parent to get them to school, consolidate, any kid that lives in the neighborhood should ride the same bus instead of three buses per neighborhood, right now many routes have a elementary, middle school and high school bus, in BHRSD the scools are all within a mile. And if the bus driver has a problem with a kid, have him or her tossed from the bus for the year.  (Saturday Nov 21 | post #9)
