RHODE ISLAND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Notes from Commissioner Infante-Green

ANGELICA INFANTE-GREEN

 

School Building Authority Report Now Available

 

Earlier this week, I was joined by Governor McKee, mayors from across the state, and other stakeholders to celebrate the release of 

Renewing the Dream

 the School Building Authority’s report on the state’s progress in our efforts to improve our school facilities across Rhode Island.

 

Renewing the Dream, the SBA’s first report since 2017, showcases eleven case studies on major renovations or full building replacements that have been completed across the state, as well as another six ongoing projects.

 

The report also lays why we need to continue funding school construction through the Governor’s proposed $250 million bond initiative.

 

I hope that you’ll take some time to review the work we’ve done so far, and to think about how we can continue to help your school improve its facilities.

 

Thank you to all of the members of the SBA and to the many district and school building managers who helped make this possible.

 

Let’s keep going until ever student in Rhode Island can learn in a 21st-century facility.

 

Thanks,

Angélica
