Oversight Hearing On David Almond’s Death Set For May 4 David Almond. By Chris Lisinski | SHNS The Legislature will convene an oversight hearing on May 4 to examine the death of a Fall River teenager and missteps at the Department of Children and Families leading up to the tragedy, lawmakers announced Thursday. After calling last week for an oversight hearing, the Joint Committee on Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities on Thursday afternoon set an official date and listed nearly a dozen agencies and offices that will be invited to testify.

The school dropout rate is likely to go higher due to increased early pregnancies, forced marriages, child labour, sexual exploitation, gender-based violence, lack of school fees, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), and drug peddling, among other factors. The State Department of Early Learning and Basic Education can hardly account for thousands of pupils who failed to report when schools reopened on January 4, 2021 and hundreds who failed to sit for KCPE and the ongoing KCSE examinations. School closures carry high socio-economic costs for families. Their impact is particularly severe for the most vulnerable and marginalised families.
