MEDIA ADVISORY: House of Representatives to vote on legislation creating Warwick school budget commission
|
STATE HOUSE — The House of Representatives is scheduled to meet Tuesday to consider legislation (2025-H 5252A) from House Education Committee Chairman Joseph M. McNamara (D-Dist. 19, Warwick, Cranston) that would create a budget commission for Warwick Public Schools.
The five-member commission, which is being requested by a resolution of the Warwick City Council, would oversee the operations of Warwick Public Schools and present a preliminary analysis of the school district’s financial situation. Warwick Mayor Frank Picozzi first proposed the commission upon learning that the school district faced a surprise midyear $9 million deficit.
The meeting will be televised by Capitol Television on Cox Communications, channels 15 and 61 for high definition; i3Broadband (Formerly Full Channel) on 15; and Verizon, on channel 34. Livestreaming is available at https://capitoltvri.cablecast.tv.
