Barnstable Public School District
The Barnstable Public School District oversees the operation all public schools in Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States.Although it is unknown when the school district started, it is generally believed to have been in existence by the early 1900s.[3] In 2002 the district faced another budget shortfall and the school committee voted to implement fees for bus transportation, music programs and sports programs.A 2003 override was attempted to remove these fees and prevent further staff lay-offs.The loss of feeder music programs in 2001 and the subsequent fees for participation in the high school music program decimated the award-winning Barnstable High School Marching Band.
