Thanks, Kathy

The ProJo is reporting that Kathy Crain is resigning from the Providence School Board effective immediately.

"I joined the school board because I believe that education is supposed to level the playing field," Crain said. "But over the past six months under Mayor Taveras's administration, I've come to think differently. Public education is not about children; it's about power and politics."

With tears in her eyes, Crain said that she hopes parents will take control of their children's education because it's clear that the politicians will not.

Big thanks to Kathy for standing up for what's right for kids during an incredibly difficult time. Kathy, I'm looking forward to working with you to make Providence's schools better for all kids in all neighborhoods.
