Burke Die of Telugy & D Eve Winsteader 232 Shortbread Drive Cranston, RI 02921 Dear Ms. Winsteader: It is with regret that I must advise you of my pending recommendation to the Coventry School Committee that you be placed on suspension/layoff at the conclusion of the 2019/2020 school year. This action is being taken because you are in a one-year position, enrollment changes, program changes and/or fiscal constraints may require a reduction in staff, or a more senior teacher may have rights to your current position. It is for these reasons that I am making this recommendation to the School Committee at the May 14, 2020 meeting, which will convene virtually at 6:00 p.m. via the Zoom Meeting process. The Zoom Meeting link will be posted on the School Committee agenda. Jason Martin Director of Facilities and Tra I wish to assure you that careful consideration will be given to the possibility for reinstatement of any position deemed educationally, administratively and financially appropriate if enrollment figures, program needs and financial parameters of the school district warrant a subsequent review.
