Despite the state law requiring registration after 30 days, Portsmouth's superintendent is still driving around with Illinois license plates, according to an investigative report.
Despite a state law requiring drivers to register their vehicle within 30 days of moving to the Ocean State, one school superintendent has failed to comply. Portsmouth Superintendent of Schools Lynn Krizic, who became superintendent in summer 2011, is still driving her 2003 Saab Turbo with Illinois license plates, according to an investigation by The Hummel Report. Krizic, a Little Compton resident, told Jim Hummel she failed to change the license plates and register her vehicle despite living in Rhode Island for more than 18 months. Krizic's former town of residence, Elmhurst, IL, does not charge property taxes on vehicles, according to the report.

Eleven Portsmouth residents have been selected for the Superintendent Search Subcommittee. The School Committee will also hire an outside consulting firm to aid in the search.

Perrotti. “I want to thank all who care about the future of Portsmouth education. We had so many qualified people apply,” she said.

Superintendent says therapy duck is no longer allowed in classroom after finding feathers in the ventilation system.
At least one popular member of Hathaway Elementary School will not return to the classroom this year. Lemon the Duck, the well-known Pekin duck born with a neurological condition, will not be housed this year inside the second-grade classroom of Laura Backman.
