Teacher shares that screen time (cell phones) needs to be addressed & that she’s had 8 principals in 14 years and commends principal at D’Abate for being here for 10 yrs. because consistent leadership matters #4PVDkid @RIDeptEd

[CLM @CLopes07]

Parent compares the findings in the report as what it must have felt like in Flint, Michigan when the community found out what was in the drinking water. They knew it was bad but not this bad & asking for less focus on screen time and more instruction time. #4pvdkids @RIDeptEd
