Tantasqua Regional School District

What Tantasqua Regional School District does

Tantasqua Regional School District is a public regional K-12 school district organized under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, serving five member towns — Brimfield, Brookfield, Holland, Sturbridge, and Wales — from its administrative office at 320A Brookfield Road in Fiskdale, Massachusetts. The district operates eight schools: five town-based elementary schools (Brimfield, Brookfield, Burgess in Sturbridge, Holland, and Wales) serving grades K-6, Tantasqua Regional Junior High School (grades 7-8), Tantasqua Regional High School (grades 9-12), and Tantasqua Regional Vocational School for career and technical education. Students attend their local elementary school by town of residence and consolidate at the regional junior high and high school for secondary education. The district also operates School Union 61.

The district's operations are supported by a portfolio of standard K-12 administrative and educational technology platforms, including PowerSchool for the student information system, Tyler Portico for employee self-service, SchoolDude for maintenance and IT help desk ticketing, TeachPoint for educator evaluations and professional development tracking, Frontline Education for special education/IEP management, Rubicon Atlas for curriculum mapping, and ConnectEd for automated telephone notifications. Community and family communication is handled through the district website, individual school social media pages, local television stations, the ConnectEd phone system, and an RSS feed.

As a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the district is a non-appropriation-funded government entity, not a revenue-generating business. Funding derives from local property taxes apportioned among the five member towns, Massachusetts Chapter 70 state education aid, and potentially federal grants. No tuition is charged to resident students. Governance rests with elected School Committee members from each constituent town and a Joint School Committee providing regional oversight. The district maintains a fundraising partnership with the TED Foundation for donor support.
