UPDATE: Voters in Stockbridge and West Stockbridge have approved critical funding for the construction of a new high school, with results confirmed just minutes ago. This decisive move comes as part of a larger initiative by the Berkshire Hills Regional School District to replace the existing Monument Mountain Regional High School.
As of 7:10 p.m. on November 4, 2025, results from Stockbridge show a resounding approval for both ballot questions: Question 1 received 636 votes in favor and 112 against, while Question 2 garnered 604 votes for and 135 against. Meanwhile, in West Stockbridge, voters reported 462 yes votes and 131 no votes for Question 1, and 435 yes votes versus 157 no votes for Question 2 as of 7:05 p.m.
This funding, totaling $152,067,064, will facilitate the design and construction of a new facility located at 600 Stockbridge Road in Great Barrington. The new high school aims to serve students in grades 9-12 and is positioned as a vital upgrade to the current educational infrastructure, which has faced increasing demands.
The first ballot question asked voters whether they accepted the Regional District School Committee’s decision to authorize borrowing for the new school. The second question sought approval to exempt the town from Proposition 2½ for the bond payments necessary for the project.
These results, coming from a crucial election day, highlight significant community support for educational development in the region. The approval not only signifies a commitment to improving educational facilities but also reflects the community’s investment in the future of local students.
As the night progresses, further updates will be provided as results from Great Barrington come in. Residents eagerly await the full implications of these decisions, which promise to shape the educational landscape of the area for years to come.
Stay tuned for comprehensive coverage and detailed analysis on this pivotal development affecting the Berkshire Hills Regional School District.
