North Adams Public Schools Seeks Volunteers

Print Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — North Adams Public Schools is establishing a roster of volunteers for a variety of opportunities in grades PK-12.
 
Volunteer opportunities will vary with regard to time commitment and age groups of students.
 
Opportunities can be tailored to meet all interests of all parties and will consist of both short-term and longer-term commitments. 
 
Opportunities that are low commitment but high-impact arise all the time and are a great fit for those that are only available for only a few hours a year.
 
Volunteer opportunities may include helping students with projects, reading to classes, sharing experiences, sitting on panels, assisting with upcoming events, or other needs to help students thrive.
 
Interested individuals can fill out the volunteer form located on the North Adams Public Schools' website at www.napsk12.org/VolunteerSignUp. The form will help North Adams Public School match opportunities with areas of interest and expertise.
 
Approval to volunteer is contingent upon passing a CORI check and potentially a SORI check. A member of North Adams Public Schools will reach out to those on the volunteer roster as opportunities that meet specific interests and needs arise.
 
Questions about the form or volunteering with North Adams Public Schools can be emailed to familysupports@napsk12.org.

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — An informational meeting on the Community Preservation Act will be held on Wednesday, May 1, at 6 p.m. at the Clarksburg Elementary School.
 
Voters at the annual town meeting on May 29 will be asked to approve adoption of the state law which will allow the town to collect a 3 percent surcharge on property taxes for use for affordable housing, open space and recreation, and historic preservation. A percentage of the funds collected by the town are matched by the state.
 
The Historical Commission requested the question be placed on the town meeting warrant. Passage at town meeting would put the CPA on the Nov. 5 general election ballot. 
 
The slide presentation by commissioners will cover what the act is and what adopting it would mean to residents and the community. This will be followed by Q&A.
