School is out for primary day

PROVIDENCE -- Rhode Island schools are closed today for primary elections.

It's a new law that went into effect in late June without the governor's signature.

The Board of Elections says it proposed the change for the students' safety while schools are used as polling stations.

School officials say they were not consulted about the new provision, which they say is disruptive for classes and unnecessary.
