Southern Berkshire Regional School District

What Southern Berkshire Regional School District does

Southern Berkshire Regional School District (SBRSD) is a public K-12 regional school district and political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, serving approximately 500+ students from five southern Berkshire County towns: Alford, Egremont, Monterey, New Marlborough, and Sheffield. Founded in 1953 as the first Massachusetts regional consolidation to span the full K-12 spectrum, the district operates four schools: Mt. Everett Regional School (grades 7-12, ~360 students), Undermountain Elementary (K-5, ~250 students), New Marlborough Central (PK-3, ~75-85 students), and South Egremont School (PK). It also operates the Southern Berkshire Childcare Program (SBCCP), a Department of Early Education and Care-regulated childcare entity providing infant through school-age care.

The district's instructional technology stack is entirely consumer/vendor-based: 1:1 Chromebooks/iPads/Windows devices, Google Workspace and Microsoft Office 365 for email and collaboration, Google Classroom for learning management, plus specialized platforms including Naviance (college/career planning), Edgenuity (credit recovery), Virtual High School, Learning Ally, Ignite Reading, Prodigy, Typing Club, Fastbridge, i-Ready Math, HMH ELA, Lan School (classroom management), and i-Visions (student information). Communications run on ParentSquare. There is no proprietary technology product. Mt. Everett offers competitive VEX Robotics and FTC programs (three consecutive state championships 2013-2015), a new Aerial Drone Competition team, FFA, theater, band, and athletics; the district runs Innovation Pathways in Clean Energy, Technology, and Manufacturing, and an Early College partnership with UMass Amherst.

SBRSD's revenue model is non-commercial: primary funding comes from Massachusetts state education aid (Chapter 70) and local property tax assessments from the five member towns, approved annually at town meetings and School Committee. Free public K-12 education is the core "product." Supplemental fee-based revenue comes from the SBCCP childcare program (Infants $57/day, Toddlers $53/day, Preschool $48/day, Afterschool $20/day) and the National School Lunch Program, which also generates USDA reimbursement tied to free/reduced lunch participation. Approximately 120-130 additional students are enrolled annually through the Massachusetts School Choice Program, providing geographic diversification of enrollment but not of funding. The district is governed by a School Committee with representatives from each member town and an Interim Superintendent (Dr. Brian Ricca).
