Report: School Retirement List Tops 20

Along with Superintendent Peter Nero, the district will say goodbye to more than 20 teachers and administrators at year's end.

Superintendent Peter Nero isn't the only person who is leaving the district at the end of the year.

Along with Nero, 20 teachers have announced plans to retire including Cranston High School West Principal Steven Knowlton, the Providence Journal reported.

School Chief Operating Officer Raymond L. Votto Jr. said the higher than expected retirements are likely due to changes to their pension plans. The General Assembly approved pension reform legislation last November.
