Dear Members of the NRSD Community,
I am writing to sincerely thank the voters who participated in the recent special town elections and voted to approve the MSBA roofing project for the Narragansett Regional Middle School and High School.
This vote represents an important investment in the safety, longevity, and stewardship of our school facilities. The approval allows the District to move forward with critical roof replacements while leveraging significant reimbursement through the Massachusetts School Building Authority, ensuring that the work is completed responsibly and cost-effectively for our communities.
The Middle and High School buildings serve thousands of students, staff, families, and community members each year. Maintaining these facilities is not only about addressing current needs, but also about protecting our schools for future generations and avoiding more costly repairs down the road.
I recognize that decisions of this nature are never taken lightly, and I am grateful to our residents for taking the time to learn about the project and participate in the process. Your engagement and support reflect a shared commitment to our students and to the long-term health of the Narragansett Regional
School District.
On behalf of our students, staff, and School Committee, thank you for your confidence and for your
support of our schools.
With appreciation,
Dr. Chris Casavant
Superintendent of Schools

ReplyDelete'Gansett used to have a very low energy announcement sign out front. Zero kWh. The current sign is a ridiculous monstrosity of zero informational value. How much does the electricity cost for a sign to tell us about senior walking? It burns power 24/7.
ReplyDeleteDid the person who dreams up the content get a raise?
Typical Green/Democrat hypocrisy. But hey, we have a windmill!
I am told the electric bill is about 55 bucks per month on a separate meter.
ReplyDeleteI might find that number believable if it ran 8 hours a day. But that sign is very bright, likely full brightness with minor or no dimming at night.
ReplyDeleteI used $.18 per kWh into $55, that only accounts for a 400 Watt load. Very low. Typical signs that size are 1-3 kW.
A better question is how many kWh does that sign use.
$55.00 a month for that huge electronic sign. Did they send you the bill?
ReplyDeleteSteve Castle likes big signs too
ReplyDeleteTrust me, signs are not the biggest worry our town has , but while everyone is no the subject, I'll throw in my two cents. Ask yourself how often you drive by the high school ? How often do you go by Town Hall ? For me, not very often. I avoid East Templeton unless I am going to a meeting or to pay a bill. How can you read a sign on the lawn at Town Hall when you need to watch the road ? You can't. I never go to Baldwiville for much of anything. A sign on the lawn provides nothing to me or anyone else that doesn't use that road. People in Otter River or East Templeton are not going to see these signs either unless those are roads that they travel. Signs are a old fashioned way to provide information. I can't think of one area that could be used that the majority of residents would see.
ReplyDeleteThe signs are wasteful spending, which is the attitude of Templeton and Narragansett employees. They show a disregard for the taxpayer's money.
ReplyDeleteHe believes he is a king. I feel bad for the teachers.
