25 OCT 2023 · With absenteeism a major concern of schools throughout Rhode Island, Newport School Superintendent Colleen Burns Jermain discusses how the school system is trying to improve attendance and turn around a poor showing by pupils in recent statewide testing when she joined What’sUpNewp for a live virtual video conversation o nWednesday.Recent independent reports have identified absenteeism as a significant problem statewide, with many students characterized as chronically absent. In Newport, Jermain, in her community update, said that some students in Newport have already missed 14 days of school.Absenteeism, coupled with poor testing for pupils in grades 3 to 8 in the Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System testing has raised concerns for Jermain, who is working with other school administrators to implement programs to improve pupil performance.Meanwhile, the school committee has allocated surplus funds to help fill the construction budget shortfall for the Rogers High School project. We hear from the superintendent how that will fill the budget gap and how much more money is needed to ensure all aspects of the project are completed.We also discuss several other issues, including staffing and whether the schools are fully staffed, not only in the classroom but in other areas, including bus drivers and maintenance staff.Watch our conversation below or listen to it above.The Latest From What’sUpNewpWhat’s Up Interview: Singer-Songwriter Anna Mieke, playing Newport’s Colony House on Friday, November 3Win tickets to see acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter in Newport Live concertJan Brogan: Lessons from a smartphone fastIf you measure an addiction to a smartphone by the number of downloaded apps, I should probably be in rehab.VIDEO: A conversation with Newport School Superintendent Colleen Burns JermainNewport School Superintendent Colleen Burns Jermain joined What’sUpNewp for a live virtual video conversation on Wednesday.Red Sox hiring ex-pitcher Craig Breslow to run baseball operations, AP source saysThe Boston Red Sox have hired ex-pitcher Craig Breslow to run their baseball operations department, a team official said Wednesday.7-Day Weather forecast for Newport CountyHere’s what’s on tap for the weather this week and weekend.Obituary: Matilda VallesFebruary 10, 1938 – October 18, 2023Newport police report for Oct. 24 – 25Here’s a look at the Newport Police Department arrest and dispatch logs for Tuesday, October 24 through 7 am on Wednesday, October 25, 2023.How gas prices have changed in the Providence metro area in the last weekThe average cost for a gallon of gasoline continues to slowly fall this week.
