April 2022 update
The document that created the Pioneer Valley Regional School District in 1991 is called the District Agreement.
As the document has not been updated in over 20 years, the District Agreement Subcommittee is drafting revisions that would bring the document into alignment with contemporary needs.
The residents of all towns in the district will need to approve any changes to the District Agreement. The current plan is to bring a revised document before voters at Town Meetings in the spring of 2023.
The Subcommittee looks forward to providing more information about the revision process, including opportunities for community engagement, in the coming weeks.
Timeline and key steps in the revision process
District Agreement Timeline, 2022Reference documents: Elementary School Leases
The district currently operates three schools: Bernardston Elementary (PreK-6), Northfield Elementary (PreK-6), and Pioneer Valley Regional (7-12).
While the district owns the PVRS building and campus, the district leases both elementary schools from their respective towns, with each school on a 20-year lease.
