With construction underway at Rogers High School, regionalization with Middletown in limbo, and growing concerns in schools across the country about behavioral health issues – What'sUpNewp welcomed back Newport School Superintendent Colleen Burns Jermain for her regular monthly What’sUpNewp conversations on Wednesday.
We took a break over the holidays, but issues did not, and we were anxious to catch up with the superintendent about Rogers High School construction, regionalization, the current school year, and more.
