Settlement Reached Over Closure of 360 High School

A settlement has been reached in the federal class action lawsuit concerning the closure of 360 High School in Providence, leading to the establishment of a newly unified school in the same building. Students from 360 High School and Juanita Sanchez Educational Complex will merge to form a new school, allowing input from students and families to influence the school's name and preserve certain aspects of the original school. The settlement offers unemployed teachers from 360 High School the opportunity to reapply for positions at the unified school, emphasizing support for multilingual students and academic excellence. While the closure decision faced backlash and protests, the settlement aims to create a more unified and supportive learning environment in the new institution, focusing on high-quality educational experiences and career success in Rhode Island's life sciences industry.
