Resident Questions Tuition for West Glocester Special-Ed Classroom

A special education classroom at West Glocester Elementary School is at the center of questions about Glocester's K-5 school budget. A council member said the superintendent projected about $600,000 in new revenue from it, which the council member hoped could help the district turn around, "if all the facts are true." A resident said records requests to Scituate found no tuition agreement, bills or payments, and questioned the program's staffing of seven adults. The council took no action.

Neighborhood-Fit Test for Lincoln Variances Has Narrowed, Board Told

The board's legal counsel told members that, under a state change, the neighborhood-character test for dimensional variances now looks only at the specific relief requested, not the whole project. Members questioned whether that leaves room to consider design, and one speaker said it could affect the board's practice of asking for renderings. The issue is expected to come up again when a previously denied application returns.

Providence Voters Approve Israel Divestment Measure With 75 Percent Support

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND — Providence voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure requiring the city to avoid investments connected to countries profiting from what the measure describes as genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing or prolonged military occupation, making Providence the second U.S. city to adopt an Israel-divestment policy by popular vote. The measure passed with roughly 75% support, according to The Guardian . Organizers said the campaign was designed to force divestment from companies and financial instruments connected to Israel, including investments they argue contribute to the war in Gaza and the occupation of Palestinian territories. Providence for Palestine began with about 40 volunteers and eventually built a much larger field operation. The coalition collected more than 10,000 signatures, knocked on roughly 17,000 doors, made 18,000 phone calls and said it spoke with tens of thousands of residents before Election Day. ( theguardian.com ) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Organizers included local chapters of Jewish Voice for Peace, Democratic Socialists of America, the American Federation of Teachers and American Muslims for Palestine. The result follows a similar divestment vote in Somerville, Massachusetts, and comes as public opinion toward Israel’s conduct in Gaza has become more critical. An

After losing to BU on Friday, men’s basketball secures first win at Lehigh on Sunday

The men’s basketball team (1-2, 0-0 Ivy) hosted Boston University (2-1, 0-0 Patriot) Friday night in the Pizzitola Sports Center. In an eerily similar fashion to their loss to the University of New Hampshire last week, a first-half lead for Bruno vanished late in the game after BU seized the lead and claimed a 72-67 victory. But on Sunday afternoon at Lehigh University (1-2, 0-0 Patriot), the Bears finally redeemed themselves when 14 points from forward N’famara Dabo ’27 led them to a 65-55 win.
