1. Warwick Speech Therapy Vacancy: Makeup Plan Detailed (upriseri.com) — Warwick families whose children missed school speech-language sessions will see services ramp up later this month, as a new district therapist and an agency provider work in tandem to make up roughly 25 days of lost time. Special education director Stephen Carter told the Warwick Special Education Advisory Committee that late resignations delayed hiring, but affected parents have been notified and a makeup plan is in place.

The investment aims to keep high-quality birthing and women's health care close to home for Warwick families.
