Important meeting in Newport on Saturday!

If you live in Newport, then you've likely heard the discussion, and maybe even engaged in a conversation, related to the City's school infrastructure. This weekend, all are invited to have their say at the second of three planned public design sessions hosted by the School Department's School Building Committee.

Aimed at envisioning what a new Rogers High School might look like, the community-driven charrette is due to get underway at 10 a.m. in the Pell Elementary School cafeteria at 35 Dexter Street in the City's North End.

The meeting will start with a summary of community input received thus far followed by a "bubble diagramming" exercise intended to help guide the School Building Committee as it works toward developing a final proposal to be presented to the City Council in the coming months.
