• In rare move, all 5 Southern Berkshire towns delay school budget vote amid financial turmoil (berkshireeagle.com) — Sheffield and the four other Southern Berkshire district towns are postponing their annual school budget votes until June special town meetings, giving officials time to repair disordered financial records. Local leaders want a clearer, line‑by‑line budget before asking residents to approve each town’s share, while the district works to stay under a 6 percent assessment increase cap.
