Last Thursday, likely in response to our release of Maya Chavez' exposé into the closure of several Providence public schools, the Providence City Council announced that it had passed a resolution calling on the RI Dept. of Education and Providence Public School District to release the minutes of all meetings discussing Providence Public School closures within 48 hours.
Except, this never happened. The City Council updated its press release the following day to reflect that the resolution was simply referred to committee where it is likely to die with no action taken. This means that despite a mountain of evidence demonstrating vast corruption, shady deals, and direct instances of the tail wagging the dog, the City Council is unlikely to take any action to help reveal what led to the systematic closure of Alan Shawn Feinstein Elementary School at Broad St.
