NARRAGANSETT â The Narragansett School System (NSS) last week proposed a $33.2 million FY 2022 budget, a spending plan that reflects pandemic recovery, staff and benefit increases, school enrollment and notable capital projects to improve filtration across the districtâs three schools.
While the proposed $33.2 million budget is an increase of about $975,000, or about 3 percent, over last yearâs spending total at the schools, NSS Superintendent Peter Cummings predicts the town appropriation to the schoolsâ budget would only increase by about $478,200, or 1.79 percent, this year, if the budget is approved as proposed. The school department funds its annual budgets with sources in addition to the townâs annual appropriation, including state aid and revenue.
NARRAGANSETT â Local students are organizing a community-driven, tree planting initiative in order to offset paper usage at Narragansett High School (NHS). The event, taking place on May 1, is a collaboration between students and the nonprofit organization Tree-Plenish.
âI think that it is important that our schoolâs paper consumption is replenished so that our school can be more environmentally conscious and efficient,â said Julia Highcove, an NHS Senior and member of the schoolâs eco club. âSince trees are such a crucial part of our ecosystem, it is important that we replace those that are cut down for man-made products like paper. By doing so we are working to keep the earth both beautiful and healthy.â
