Public Schools announces the opening of the Ward 5 seat on the Cranston School Committee. The Cranston School Committee is made up of six members as well as a citywide chairperson. The board works closely with the Cranston Public Schools administration developing an annual budget, creating and overseeing implementation of district policies, and supporting the work of students and schools. Board members are present and oftentimes speak at district events throughout the year.

Those interested in applying for the open Ward 5 seat must submit their resume to either School Committee Chairperson Michael Traficante at mtraficante@nellmct.com or Deborah Hayden at dhayden@cpsed.net. Names will be accepted until August 31, 2023. Applicants will be asked to speak during a public School Committee meeting in September and the selection will take place at that time.
