North Providence School Committee approves 2025–26 calendar, transportation resolution and multiple contracts
Summary
The School Committee approved the 2025–26 academic calendar, a Rhode Island-backed statewide transportation resolution and several vendor contracts including photography, cafeteria renovation (pending legal review), employee assistance renewal and prom venues.
The North Providence School Committee approved a series of routine but consequential administrative items during its meeting, including the district’s 2025–26 academic calendar and a resolution endorsing statewide and private school transportation savings.
Superintendent Gojo asked the committee to approve the submitted 2025–26 academic calendar. A motion to approve was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Gojo also introduced an enclosed resolution that he said is supported and promoted by the Rhode Island School Committee Association and the Rhode Island Superintendents Association to pursue savings for school districts on statewide and private school transportation. The committee approved the resolution by voice vote with no recorded discussion.
The committee approved a quoted photography-services contract for North Providence High School that was vetted by class advisors led by Ms. Corinne Gelinas. It approved motions authorizing related contract work tied to a previously awarded cafeteria renovation bid to Motown Construction; those contracts were approved with the caveat that final execution is contingent on a final legal review to resolve some small outstanding changes.
Other approved items included renewal of the Coastline EAP service agreement, the junior prom contract for Crystal Lake on May 8, 2026, and the senior prom contract with Quintesset Country Club for May 22, 2026. The committee also approved bills and a use-of-property request later in the meeting.
Most motions were carried by voice vote; the record in the transcript does not identify individual movers, seconders or a roll-call tally for these routine approvals.
The committee adjourned after completing the agenda.
