The voters have spoken: Bond fails by large margin


$85 million bond overwhelmingly rejected by over 70 percent of voters
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – After months of passionate, and at times, contentious debate, community members came out in overwhelming numbers to defeat the school facilities bond. 
The $85 million plan – a major component of which called for relocating the high school to Curtis Corner – failed to win support from the community. 
According to unofficial election results, only 1,967 community members supported the bond, compared to the 5,244 community members who were ultimately successful in rejecting it, and preventing the plan from moving forward. 
The overwhelming defeat was a disappointing blow for those who’ve invested years and countless hours into this vision, but heading into election day, supporters and opponents alike pledged coming together and moving forward as a community.  ....

Split committee votes to adopt budget increases


SOUTH KINGSTOWN – The School Committee adopted its budget for the upcoming fiscal year on Tuesday, which if approved by the council, will mean appropriation increases of 1.89 percent. 
According to Chief Financial Officer Raquel Pellerin, the overall budget increase of 2.8 percent will amount to a little more than $1.5 million in spending from one year to the next. Pellerin said this year’s municipal appropriation request of $57,053,074 was largely driven by contractual increases, and is about a million dollars more than last year’s request.
As Superintendent Linda Savastano pointed out, the majority of school funding comes from the town, though much smaller revenue sources like state aid and grant programs will also help cover the district’s $67,079,680 budget. That number, she said, is directly tied to fiscal and educational goals.  ....

School committee begins search for new architecture firm


SOUTH KINGSTOWN – If the school facilities project continued to advance forward, the district’s architectural firm may likely be left behind. 
On Tuesday, the South Kingstown School Committee voted to begin the process of sending out a request for proposal for a new architect firm. The facilities project, which includes plans to relocate the high school to Curtis Corner, place an addition on Broad Rock and make improvements at all four elementary schools, will first need to gain approval from the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) and the votes of South Kingstown. 
And while there’s a wide array of opinion over whether or not the district should move forward with these plans, there have been a number of voices that have spoken out against continuing with the current architectural firm.  ....
