WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Voters in the Mount Greylock Regional School District will be selecting their representatives for the next term at the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Most are incumbents running unopposed but there is a three-way race for two four-year seats to represent Williamstown on the committee.
Christine Enderle is challenging incumbents Carrie Greene and Steven Miller for the one of the two seats.
Enderle is a kindergarten teacher in the North Adams Public Schools and has three children in the Mount Greylock district. In a statement on her Facebook Page, she said she understood how "so much lies on the shoulders of our teachers." She said her focus is finding and supporting highly qualified teachers and that it is a personal issue for her. You can complain about the reality, she said, or "offer your service as an agent of change in your community."
Greene is Williams College's director of commencement and academic events. A veteran School Committee member, she is a former chair and was a member of the School Building Committee and Berkshire County Education Task Force. She served between 2009 and 2018 and returned to the committee to fill an empty seat in 2020.
Miller is a mathematics professor at Williams College and has two children in the school district. He is running for this third four-year term on the School Committee. He currently is the committee's secretary and also served on the School Building Committee and a chair of the Education subcommittee. He proposed new formulas on assessing capital costs during the school project and local budgeting between Williamstown and Lanesborough that were adopted by the committee.

Mount Greylock Regional School presents 'Lights Off'
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. Mount Greylock Regional School presents "Lights Off" in the school’s auditorium at 1781 Cold Spring Road in Williamstown.
Performances are May 16–18 at 7 p.m.
According to a press release:
When stately Phipps Manor, in the sleepy backwater of Phippsfordshire, is rocked by scandal and murder, the local constabulary must rise to the occasion. But can they match the genius of the resident celebrity detective? A sendup of Agatha Christie–style mysteries, this original whodunit features a parade of characters sure to please mystery lovers: a wealthy patriarch, suspect family members, colorful servant staff and insufferably cocksure detectives. A joyous romp full of both witty wordplay and classic physical comedy, "Lights Off" is theater for all ages.
Written and directed by Mount Greylock sophomore Frankie Evans and senior Quin Repetto, "Lights Off" marks the first student-led production at Mount Greylock since 2018. Thomas Ostheimer is the faculty adviser. Sophomore Natasha Nugent provides musical accompaniment on violin. Levi Cohen-McFall and Alec Sills assisted with fight choreography.
Show tickets must be purchased online — $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens, and $5 for students — and are available by visiting bit.ly/3QwM3K8 or by scanning the QR code on show posters.
