PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Board of Education personnel subcommittee met with state education Commissioner Deborah A. Gist for almost two hours Tuesday but it did not take a vote on her impending contract.
The subcommittee will continue the discussion of Gist's contact with the full board when it meets on May 23.
After the closed door meeting, board Chairwoman Eva Mancuso said she continues to support extending Gist's contract, adding, "I haven't heard anything that would change my mind."
She said she was speaking personally, not on behalf of the board.
