Bristol School Committee Scrutiny Over Charter Authority
State and town officials assert the Bristol School Committee is subject to the town Charter. Town Administrator Agatiello and Council Chairman Alegria say all elected officials must follow the Charter, echoed by Rhode Island Assistant Commissioner Dr William Robinson. Committee members had sworn to uphold the Charter in December 1976, raising questions of charter compliance and potential violations.
