Starting full-day kindergarten in Barrington is long overdue. The efforts to make the full-day kindergarten happen in our town did not just start from the 4 subcommittee meetings in 2013 but from many years of discussions, research and preparation.

During these past years, we see other Rhode Island towns and cities make the implementation of the full-day kindergarten programs a reality. Does Barrington still choose to wait and lag behind? This year is the year and there is no reason to wait any longer. Full-day kindergarten is a necessary investment in our children, our future. Together, we can and will make it happen.

He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
