Fair Funding for Rhode Island's Schools: What it means, Why it matters, and What you can do
The Blue Ribbon Commission, 18 Rhode Island leaders including educators, parents, municipal officials, union representatives, charter school supporters, and community advocates, spent a year studying Rhode Island's school funding and reached a full consensus on four reforms.
Join us in support of House Bill 8351 and Senate Bill 8351 that enacts the Blue Ribbon Commission's recommendations into law. Whether you're a parent, teacher, business owner, neighbor, or community leader - your voice matters.
The comprehensive school funding system presented in the Commission’s full report is built on a consensus vision of equity and fiscal accountability. It establishes the foundation necessary to meet the state’s responsibility to its students and all Rhode Islanders. By adopting these recommendations, the state will secure an effective, predictable, student-centered education funding system that drives economic growth and enables all children to receive the world-class education they deserve.
