The school building needs committee using a report generated by NESDEC (nesdec.org) is planning on closing Auto Body & Metal Fabrication vocational programs at Taconic High School. We feel that the data being used in the report is inaccurate and the programs NEED to remain OPEN to support the employment needs of these two fields for Berkshire County now and in the future.
The school building committee is hiding behind flawed data while they try to scrap the very programs that keep our local economy running. I am digging through their report right now to expose exactly how they are cooking the books to justify these closures. Do not let them think we are going to lie down and let them kill these essential trades.

The momentum we have built proves the building needs committee cannot bury the truth behind their bogus report. They are trying to gut our vocational programs based on bad data but the community is finally forcing them to pay attention.

THESE PROGRAMS ARE VITAL!! Not every kid is meant for a 4 year college. Let them learn a trade that actually pays the bills.

local businesses are already screaming for skilled workers and then they want to cut the very programs that teach them. makes zero sense.
