Berkshire Week in Review Highlights Local Crises and Happenings
Planning for a four town regional school district failed in Lee, Lenox, Otis, and Tyringham with Tyringham approving only. The state commission still backs regionalization and won’t aid separate plans until reconsideration. GE talks risk a strike as unions reject the offer. Taconic High School walkout protests heating plant rules and dress code. Fall foliage drives record crowds.
