SOUTH KINGSTOWN â The school committee met in executive session for two hours on Tuesday night to discuss a potential administrative leave while the town council continues to investigate how the names and addresses of children came to appear on a political mailer earlier this year.Â
In April, numerous community members raised concerns to the town council and the school committee over a mailer on the school facilities bond issue, which was addressed and sent out to many children in the district.Â
Some of the children who received these mailers were in kindergarten.
Many parents in the district, as well as elected officials, have viewed this as a major breach of student privacy and expressed concerns that sharing this information with a third party has put their children in jeopardy. In response, the town council has launched an investigation in an attempt to discover how this private information was leaked.Â
