“The decision to postpone reflects the seriousness of the process, the complex variables that must be considered before a school is closed, and a commitment to conduct school closures in a manner that produces the best outcomes for students and significant cost savings for the city,” said a news release issued by the Providence Public School District.

The new release also noted the ongoing conversations with the Providence Teachers Union; those affected by the closures will be terminated and the ones unaffected will have their letters of dismissal, issued to all Providence school teachers on Feb. 23, rescinded.
