Rhode Island school districts are approving staff layoffs for the upcoming academic year. These reductions stem from budget pressures and shifting student enrollment. Johnston initially issued 89 layoff notices, with 42 employees still without positions after reorganization. Newport laid off 17 teachers, though some roles might be restored later. Warwick approved 42 layoffs, including teachers, teaching assistants, and administrators.
