Reaching Rhode Islanders
It was the second “road” hearing of the panel and one of several more that are expected to be held around the state during the next few months. The public hearing was preceded by a brief speaking program that featured Peter Nero, Superintendent of Cranston schools, a slide show on bullying prepared and presented by several Cranston High School students, and a panel discussion by a number of Cranston teachers and members of the school guidance office. The study commission was created this year and is being chaired by Sen. John J. Tassoni Jr. (D-Dist. 22, Smithfield , North Smithfield ). Also serving on the panel is Sen. Beatrice A. Lanzi (D-Dist. 26, Cranston).
