Since 1998, the eagle fund has been actively supporting educational excellence in the Southern Berkshire Regional School District. It is not intended to be a substitute for public funding of the basics, but rather to make possible exceptional opportunities that are designed to enhance and extend the educational experience of the students. The eagle fund board includes students, faculty, administrators and community members from the five townships of the SBRSD. Grant recipients are required to submit presentations to the board at the end of the school year to demonstrate what they have accomplished. We welcome community input to this process.
