R.I. School for the Deaf to Remain in Providence



LINCOLN, R.I. (AP) -- The Rhode Island School for the Deaf has decided against relocating. Officials had planned to build a new facility in Lincoln, but then realized that the property wasn't big enough to accommodate the building.

As a result, the state says it decided to build the new facility in Providence, on the grounds of the existing school. Roughly 105 students, between the ages of three and 21, attend the school.

Officials said a new school was needed because the current building could no longer meet the students' needs. read more
