The Johnston School Committee voted 5-0 to appoint Doreen Studley to the part-time position, which pays $45,000 plus benefits.
During a brief meeting on Tuesday night at Ferri Middle School, the Johnston School Committee approved the appointment of Doreen Studley to the part-time Human Resources Coordinator position that had been left unfilled since last November. According to Supt. Dr. Bernard DiLullo, Studley will be paid $45,000 per year plus benefits for the 30-hour-per-week job, which handles all of the school district's employment applications and ensures adherence to hiring standards.

But state Sen. Frank Lombardo said the bill may re-emerge later this year.
Johnston School Committee member Robert LaFazia said he's relieved that the Rhode Island House of Representatives decided not to hear the controversial binding arbitration bill. The Providence Journal reported on June 30 that House Speaker Gordon Fox announced his decision not to bring the bill to a vote, effectively stopping progress on the bill as the legislature takes a summer recess.

Frank Lombardo, interviewed by phone on June 30, said he felt the bill faces an uncertain future. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves," the first-term senator said. "The House would have to pass it, and the governor has publicly stated that he's not comfortable signing it — and after the vote in the Senate yesterday, there are not enough votes to overturn a veto." In a vote recorded just before 11 p.m. on June 29, the Senate voted 20-17, with one absention, to approve the arbitration bill. The House of Representatives had not taken up the bill by …
