South Kingstown school committee flags cuts to arts, sports and student supports as town offers $1M of $2.5M request School officials told the committee that a roughly $1.1 million shortfall driven by a $400,000 drop in state aid and rising health costs could force cuts to elementary music, middle-school sports, late buses and summer credit recovery unless the town increases its transfer; the district asked for $2.5 million and the town’s preliminary budget included $1 million. Committee members pressed for a concise presentation for joint hearings with the town council on April 6–7 and for clearer RIDE reimbursement totals.

South Kingstown schools face a $1.1 million shortfall that could lead to devastating cuts in arts, sports, and essential student services unless the town steps up its funding.

Perrysburg students, residents urge voters to approve levy as district outlines cuts High school students and residents told the Perrysburg Exempted Village School District board that levy failures have already reduced programming and that another loss would remove music, extracurriculars and transportation for many students. District leaders outlined declines in tax revenue and warned of deeper cuts if voters do not act.

Perrysburg students are sounding the alarm: without immediate voter support for the levy, music, sports, and essential programs could vanish for future generations!

Blending In and Sparking Joy: A Simple Reference for Organizational Culture. Teaching Artists are like creative superheroes who bring art, music, dance, and storytelling into different schools. Because they move from school to school, they get to see lots of different school cultures. Each school has its own “personality” with its own rules, routines, and ways of doing things. Some schools are super loud and energetic, while others are calm and quiet.

🎨✨ Teaching Artists bring creativity to every school they visit, but each school has its own unique culture. Learning how to adapt (and thrive!) takes practice… and support.
Together, we can connect even better with our students.💛
