There are candidates for school committee you can talk to now and later to share your thoughts. You can make the difference.

You might also be unaware of the PART program in Pawtucket that is now vailable for all students in the 6th to 9th grades who are becoming truant and having problems. This is a great program to Refer youth to resources available here and help the student and his family not wind up in truancy court or if in truancy court to not head to family court or dropout of school.

Call Pawtucket SDubstance Abuse thru 728-0500 or call  Diego White at Blackstone Academy for more details on the referral process from parents, teachers or others for all Pawtucket students.

Isn't it time that the schools woke up to what kids need and how to teach them to learn rather than the old school learning that has failed our kids?

Perhaps the waiting lists for the charter schools demonstrate that good schools can be public schools if parents, youth and teachers are all equal at the table in coming up what the community needs...many kids have the values, but they are not challenged or not listened to with their problems- some not of their making....and then there is the PART program that parents and teachers and others can help refer kids for resource help vs truancy and declines. Call Pawtucket Substance Abuse thru city hall if you know of a youth needing that help.
