Summary
The school committee unanimously approved resubmitting the Stage 1 application to the Rhode Island Department of Education to preserve the district’s place in the school‑construction queue. Updates included letters of interest, building‑committee membership, and an updated demographic report.
The Chariho Regional School Committee voted unanimously on Feb. 10 to resubmit the Stage 1 application to the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) to hold the district’s place in the school‑construction queue.
Superintendent Gina explained the resubmission updates: refreshed letters of interest, a statement of local support, a compliance agreement, and a building‑committee membership update. She said NESDAC was updating a demographic/forecasting report that RIDE requires and that the application was being updated to reflect current dates and exhibits to preserve the district’s position for Stage 2 consideration later in the year.
Committee members moved and seconded the recommendation and were told the application had already been placed in the RIDE portal; the superintendent and advisers confirmed submission steps and that SLAM and Colliers provided technical assistance (no extra district cost for the SLAM/Colliers work mentioned).
Next steps: the district will await RIDE’s Stage‑1 acknowledgement and continue preparatory work to advance to Stage 2 when scheduled.
