Providence superintendent says he will resign. Here's what comes next.
Superintendent Javier Montañez announced on Friday, Oct. 30, that he will resign as the superintendent of Providence Public Schools. The Providence School Board intends to post a listing for an interim superintendent to replace Montañez next week, and talks are "ongoing" to finalize Montañez's last official day and a settlement agreement. How did we get here: Montañez rose to the highest position in the state's largest school district in 2021, from which he also graduated, after spending more than 30 years as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and then superintendent. He was appointed schools chief during the 7-year state takeover, and his resignation comes among the prolonged chaos of the district's tortuous return to local control. A rocky start to the school year On the very first day of school this year, Montañez's morning began before the sun had risen, greeting bus monitors and drivers at the Olneyville bus yard, energizing staff to make the momentous return to local control successful. Since that sunshine-filled first day, the wheels have started to fall off. Three of the district's most senior leaders have resigned. The School Board's subsequent meetings were filled with dozens of parents and students complaining about understaffing and lack

Sophomore subs in to push Canton football to likely playoff spot
CANTON -- State tournament brackets haven't released yet, but the playoffs already started for the Canton High football team. In its win-or-go home regular season finale, Canton stunned Oliver Ames on a last-minute touchdown run from Nathan Chabot, who had a pair of touchdowns, for a 22-15 win that essentially clinched a Division 4 state tournament berth for the Bulldogs on Friday, Oct. 30. "I'm going to have to take an antacid after this one," said Canton head coach Jeff Eckler postgame with a smile. Both programs entered the game at 2-5 and on the brink of qualifying for their respective state tournaments, needing a victory to reach the three-win qualifying mark. OA was just two spots out of the No. 16 and final spot at No. 18. Canton meanwhile came in at No. 10 in Division 4. After controlling the second and most of the third quarter, Canton held a 14-7 lead and was again marching as the clock ticked toward the start of the fourth. The Bulldogs had the ball on OA's 35 when quarterback and linebacker Jack Giovanello decided to slam the brakes on Canton's momentum. Giovanello read Canton quarterback Dylan Lank's pass perfectly and jumped the

Senior lineman 'lays it all on the line' for Quincy football in win
PEMBROKE — The wrestler-inspired belt fit as if it was tailored for Matt Powers . The Quincy High football team 's coaching staff awarded the senior defensive end and guard with the 'Player of the Game' honor after recovering a fumble, recording a sack, blocking a PAT kick and consistently invading the backfield in a 41-14 road win over Pembroke on Thursday, Oct. 29. Powers also led the trench unit that guided star senior running back Jonas Ala to sprint in 4 touchdown runs from 2, 3, 25 and 50 yards out. "He's physical and intense," head coach Ed DeWitt said of Powers. "He makes a bunch of plays and lays it all on the line. Sometimes you see him sprawling for tackles." Ala said Powers was "beating himself up in the locker room" and was self-critical of his first-half performance as Quincy carried a 14-6 lead into the break. Then, approximately 97 seconds into the third quarter, Powers recovered a fumble forced by senior Rory Williams and cradled it on the run into Pembroke territory. The Presidents outscored Pembroke by a 19-point margin in the second half. "It's not just me. It's not just Jonas. It's the whole team,"
