# North Kingstown School Committee Meeting: November 2nd, 2026

The North Kingstown School Committee special meeting was called to order on November 2, 2026. The committee approved the contract for a new Human Resources Director, Raymond “Greg” Los Cicero (name spelling unclear in the transcript); no contract amount was stated. The committee also discussed difficulty filling the student attendance and family outreach coordinator position, citing compensation and recruitment challenges. Administrators described interim support for truancy cases and plans to continue seeking a part-time hire; no formal action on that position was recorded. No votes were taken in executive session.

The committee approved the Davis Middle School 60% construction-document submission to the Rhode Island Department of Education and approved the construction-manager-at-risk recommendation; the presentation identified Parasalt and Shamut as the highest-scoring finalists but did not clearly identify the approved firm. Davis’s estimated base project cost was about $16.8 million, down from roughly $19–20 million, excluding alternates. The committee also approved a $150,000 project-management contract extension for November through March. For Wickford Middle School, the presentation reported the project was within its $72.5 million cap by about $1,500, and the committee approved early-release construction packages, including foundations, structural masonry and steel, and electrical equipment. The committee also approved Briggs for third-party testing services against a $250,000 project allowance. The transcript indicates approval of the Wickford 60% submission, though the vote is not captured clearly.
