Description

Press release from the City of Providence: 2021-07-20 "Two years ago, we brought the State into Providence Public Schools for the express and sole purpose of transforming the teacher's contract," said Providence Mayor Jorge O. Elorza. "It is widely recognized that the transformation of our schools cannot take place without a top-to-bottom reform of the teacher's union contract. I eagerly await to see the details but anything short of a transformational contract will be selling our kids short and it is something we will not accept." This press release was produced by the City of Providence. The views expressed here are the author's own.
