The Schools our Kids Deserve

 

This week, the Rhode Island Council on Elementary and Secondary Education voted to approve new construction projects in nine LEAs across the state, allowing for educational enhancements, health and safety improvements, new physical education and media centers, and five new schools to be built.

 

This is the final release of funds from the 2018 school construction bond. I am grateful to everyone, from RIDE and district staff to our state’s architects and construction specialists, who worked to help rebuild our schools.

 

Let’s keep going and continue to make our schools better places for students and educators to learn, grow, and thrive.
