NORTH PROVIDENCE – Final adjustments are being made to the School Department’s proposed budget for 2021-2022.
North Providence school leaders announced a few weeks ago that they’d be requesting a total budget of $61,769,242, compared to this year’s budget of $58,668,107.
After the initial budget presentation, School Committee Chairman Frank Pallotta requested several cuts to bring the total increase from 5.3 percent to under 5 percent, bringing the town’s share to about 3 percent.
The School Department had originally planned to request a total of $34,037,237 from the town, representing a roughly 3.5 percent increase of $1,186,977.
With the additional cuts, Pallotta said they’d be requesting $1,005,660 or an increase of 3.06 percent.

Committee seeking more info about potential purchase
NORTH PROVIDENCE – Mayor Charlie Lombardi, who offered first dibs on the sale of a work vehicle to the School Department, says if the schools don’t take up his offer, he’ll consider giving the van to the North Providence Mancini Center.
Lombardi recently offered the town-owned vehicle to the schools to use for internal deliveries, especially mail and other materials. The potential purchase was discussed at last week’s School Committee meeting, when committee members raised several questions and concerns.
Supt. Joseph Goho explained that he was recently approached by the town mechanic, who said they were “putting a van out to the market for sale and thought maybe we could use it. They would offer it to us at a lower price.”
