Providence board to discuss moving principals tonight

PROVIDENCE – A controversial plan to move 11 middle school principals or assistant principals goes before the Providence School Board tonight.

Supt. Donnie Evans is proposing the changes, which include reassigning some principals as assistant principals and vice versa, as part of a sweeping reorganization of the city’s seven middle schools. The changes are aimed at increasing student achievement.

The board will address the proposed administrative changes at a 7 p.m. meeting in the district’s administrative offices, 797 Westminster St.

However, the board meets prior to that, at 5:30 p.m., for a workshop on the new state testing program and how Providence student scores compare to the statewide scores, district spokeswoman Maria Tocco said.
