Rhode Island Is Ready is a new campaign advocating for the creation of a fair statewide funding formula for Rhode Island public schools. Rhode Island is currently the only state that doesn’t have such a formula, which would allocate state funding to school districts in an equitable manner, based on each student’s needs and the ability of each district to raise local funds.
Information about Rhode Island Is Ready is available on Facebook. You do not need a Facebook account to access the Rhode Island Is Ready information page.

An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this onto a co-worker who was conducting a little homework on this.
And he in fact ordered me lunch because I stumbled upon it for
him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thank YOU for
the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to talk about
this matter here on your website.
Thanks for mentioning that we can follow RI is Ready on facebook.
