Bob Chiaradio Addresses Several Issues For Westerly, RI School Committee On Lack Of Transparency - APRA Responses - Unwillingness To Serve The Public

Bob Chiaradio once again asks for clarification on staff hiring of policy 4145. He has three questions regarding the hiring practices. First, is race and/or gender a criteria for hiring.
Second, are students on the SIT team involved with the selection of a candidate? Third, if a candidate is qualified, what is meant by student need to determine that qualification?

Bob has requested several times for a list of Title IX violations in the Westerly school district and no answers have been given in any form. The committee is required to report those violations.

He finally received a response to his APRA submitted in July. He had asked the school department provide a list of committee members that review books for the school system libraries. No response given nor can they provide minutes of any meetings that have taken place.

Mr. Chiaradio is furious that the school system lax transparency and willingness to work with the public they serve giving the appearance they have something to hide.
