The revision of the Regional District Agreement between the towns of Otis and Sandisfield regarding their joint operation of the Farmington River Regional School District is currently under review by the State Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).

The proposal for the revision was unanimously passed by the seven-member School Committee in September and subsequently endorsed by the FRRSD Union.

The next step is for DESE to issue a preliminary approval of the plan and if that happens the question will be put to a vote at special town meetings in Otis and Sandisfield. For background on the proposal, see our article on this subject on page 5 of the November Times last month.
