We are currently accepting applications to fill a Lanesborough vacancy of the Mount Greylock Regional School Committee. This will be a two year appointment to serve until the term expires in November 2022.
Per the Regional Agreement: "If a vacancy occurs among the Committee members elected under Section V(C) or appointed under Section V(B)(1), the selectmen from both Lanesborough and Williamstown will meet together at the Mount Greylock Regional School within thirty (30) calendar days with the remaining Committee members to fill such vacancy by roll call vote. A majority of the votes of the elected officials entitled to vote shall be necessary to such election. The newly appointed Committee member will serve until the next biennial state election, at which election a successor shall be elected to serve for the balance of the unexpired term, if any. This joint meeting will be chaired by the town moderator of the town of residence for the new appointee, and the joint meeting’s chairperson will vote only to resolve tied votes."
