There are members of the middletown town council that want to discuss a new joint education effort.
They understand Newport was not treated fairly in their last bid
to middletown ,but what is wrong in waiting a week or two to hear them out, in the end the most important issue is providing the best education possible for all county students ?
Bless you, Chris, for keeping the flame of hope alive!
We are in our tenth year since launching the ill-fated STEAM school campaign. Some of the same people who shunned our (volunteer) efforts then — are causing generations of our island’s kids to be stuck with two over-priced, under-sized high schools — five miles apart — with mediocre education plans, now.
I hope many more people — some who perhaps were the cause of this calamity — see the light and do what’s right for the future — now!
