NEW: Central Falls School Board Chair Defends Superintendent

The chair of the Board of Trustees for the Central Falls School District is defending Superintendent Frances Gallo after state Senator John Tassoni called for her resignation today.

Tassoni cited fiscal mismanagement, and, specifically, a GoLocalProv report that revealed three administrators are still being paid, despite not having worked in the district for months.

“Unfortunately Senator Tassoni is misinformed, as is the news media on these issues,” said Anna Cano Morales, chair of the trustees (pictured right). “Despite the best efforts of our team in Central Falls the facts have been misreported and misrepresented on a number of occasions. That said, both Dr. Gallo and I would be more than willing to join in a meeting with Senators Tassoni, Crowley, and the Senate leadership to discuss - and allay - his concerns.”
