So far, the count is one vote and three years. Twelve years and three votes is the record for futility. Here’s hoping Sheffield does not take a run at it.

From the Desk of Berkshire Hills School District Superintendent Peter Dillon Around Our Schools: Taking Stock and Goal Setting

Each year, our District, schools, and staff take time to set goals. We look at measurable indicators, including test scores, attendance, chronic absenteeism, and MassCore completion, as well as survey results. As we settle into the school year, we’re grateful for the many ways our community supports our schools and students.

Ludlow High Schools Slippery Situation

On Wednesday, October 28th, Ludlow High School found itself in a sticky situation. Actually, the phrase “slippery situation” might be more accurate. When a mysterious liquid began to cover the halls of our school, we’re sure students honestly didn’t pay attention to it. Most assumed it was probably just water from a spilled bottle or hoped the toilets were leaking and we’d all be out of school. We know we thought that.
