Those who voted to approve his contract just a few months ago need to be held accountable. What an absolute nightmare.

He gone!

Superintendent Brian Ricca of East Greenwich Public Schools is excited to welcome students back for the new school year! With a focus on envisioning their new buildings as they begin their master planning for their school construction bond, it’s an exciting time of growth. 📈

With incompetence on full display, including @MunozEGSchools trying to vote twice, East Greenwich School Committee DENIES multiple families Home School requests. You have to see it to believe it. @BGRicca & @apowell712 Trap Families.

In a shocking move last night, per controversial superintendent @BGRicca recommendation, The East Greenwich School Committee mistakenly DENIED 4 Home School Family requests. The level of incompetence is OUTRAGEOUS. We will continue to see more of this as parents flee public

Remember: We fought tooth and nail against our SC who kept the doors locked and the masks on by repeating, "kids are resilient" -- Good times.

OK, but in many communities the grandest building in town is a school--a symbol of civic pride built to signal the value of education. Contemporary school buildings are often squat, cheap, and charmless, no more inspiring than the local auto parts store. edweek.org/leadership/the…

Bond Bomb in EG. Without notice or SC approval, East Greenwich Supt. @BGRicca asked @RIDeptEd to declare the School Committee and NOT the Town Council “has ultimate control over the scope and direction” of the $150 million school BOND. Nota not pleased. mcusercontent.com/a165a5e968172c…

East Greenwich HS in RI. This is what the highest property taxes in the state look like when spent by progressives. Nothing another $150 mil bond can’t cure. The money never fixes anything, it just goes in union municipal pockets. #LiberalSinkingShip #LiberalsMustGo #LiberalCorruption @TedNesi @GoLocalProv @wpri12 @TheCurrentRI

Yet, the entire East Greenwich School Committee fully supported and attempted to extend them - as they muted the families begging for a re-open - called us 'disingenuous' and our children 'resilient' . #NeverForget

Not only were lockdowns ineffective, they were devastatingly harmful. Lockdowns are a moral obscenity, burdening the youngest and poorest the most. “Trickle down epidemiology” as @DrJBhattacharya says. Now that it’s in @NYMag do I get my grace & forgiveness @profgalloway ??

Assessed a new student — Vermonter who went through 12 years of school. Can’t read at all. Looks at the first letter and guesses wildly. How is this possible?

I'm reminded now of radio personalities and local journalists who touted a ridiculous poll that claimed 80% of RI parents supported mask mandates. It would be funny if we weren't talking about covering the mouths and noses of children for nearly two full school years.

🔥🧵 Your head will explode! Reporting an @IWN investigation published @CityJournal, I just learned, TWO YEARS LATER, my son is a National Merit Commended Student in the top 3% of students. His principal hides the honor from families as @fcpsnews chases "equal outcomes" for kids.
