The Newport School Committee will meet in Executiv

The Newport School Committee will meet in Executive Session on Wednesday, Nov. 26, to address serious allegations involving multiple incidents at Rogers High School, including a widely reported assault of a student with special needs.

Committee members are expected to consider hiring an independent investigator to conduct a full review of the situation. The reports have raised alarm among city councilors, school leaders, and families across the community.

“We are deeply troubled by the recent reports from Rogers High School, and we share the community’s concern for the safety and well-being of our students,” School Committee Chair James Dring said. “To restore trust and fully understand the scope of the issues, we must move swiftly to appoint an independent entity to examine these reports as thoroughly and transparently as possible.”

If approved, the independent investigation would run alongside an active criminal investigation by the Newport Police Department.

The School Committee says the review will look not only at the specific incidents but also at broader school policies, procedures, and how the district responded, with the goal of identifying any systemic problems and recommending corrective actions.

Newport City Council Chair and Mayor Charles M. Holder voiced support for the move.

“The City Council is extremely concerned by the nature of the allegations coming from Rogers High School,” Holder said. “We fully support the School Committee’s decision to hire an independent investigator and stand in full solidarity with efforts to ensure Newport’s schools remain a safe, welcoming, and supportive space for all students.”

More information is expected after Wednesday’s Executive Session.

The Newport Police Department on Saturday announce

The Newport Police Department on Saturday announced a second arrest in the ongoing investigation into the assault of a special needs student at Rogers High School.

Police said the victim was assaulted on two separate occasions by two different 16-year-old male students.

The first student was arrested Friday, Nov. 21, 2025, and charged with two counts of felony assault on persons with severe impairments. Investigators say he was responsible for one of the attacks.

Following additional interviews and evidence review, detectives arrested a second 16-year-old male student on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025, and charged him with assault involving the same victim in a separate incident.

On Friday, school officials met with the team’s principal, coach, and athletic director before announcing that the remainder of the football season is canceled, including the JV Thanksgiving Day scrimmage.

Because both suspects are juveniles, Newport Police said they are barred under Rhode Island law from releasing their names, detailed arrest reports or specific court information tied to the case.

The investigation remains active. Newport Police thanked members of the public who have already come forward with information and urged anyone else with knowledge of the incident to contact Detective Caitlin Poplawski at 401-845-5772 or by email at cpoplawski@newportri.gov.
