HOUSE RESOLUTION CREATING A SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION TO STUDY EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN IN STATE CARE

This bill creates a 17-member commission to study educational outcomes for children in Rhode Island state care (including foster youth). The commission includes representatives from education, foster care advocacy, social work, and former foster youth, with a mandate to evaluate current systems and propose improvements by July 2026. It does not change laws or funding but requires state agencies to provide information to support the study.
