“Serving on the Providence School Board is a great opportunity for those passionate about public service and ensuring that students receive an outstanding education,” said Mayor Elorza. “I look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with the Board to ensure the school system is the best it can be.”
The School Board application deadline is 4:00 PM on Friday, December 9, 2016. The newly selected School Board Member will serve through 2020. The School Board job description and online application are available at http://www.providenceri.com/schools/nominating-commission-application.
