Lanesborough News: Finance Panel Backs School UnionBy Barb Davis-Hassan - January 11, 2008
LANESBOROUGH - Rich Cohen, chairman of the Lanesborough Elementary School Committee, reported that on Monday, Jan. 8, the Lanesborough Finance Committee voted 3-0 to support the proposed Lanesborough-Williamstown Superintendency Union.
William Stevens, chairman of the Finance Committee, in a memo to the Lanesborough School Committee, writes "It is felt by the majority of the committee members that the new union would foster a better coordination of the feeder schools to prepare the students for entry to Mount Greylock Regional [High and Middle] School, provide the opportunities for the two schools to [coordinate] curriculum, and to perhaps foster a better understanding between the two groups to help eliminate a perceived difference between the children of the two towns. It should also provide a more equitable fiscal sharing of the costs of the union."
He goes on to say "we also understand that there may be financial gains for the following year, but these could be minimized depending upon the pupil count from the two schools. In that event, should the costs be a wash as compared to the existing union, it was felt that the other considerations were dominant.
