AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- THE PAUL W. CROWLEY RHODE ISLAND STUDENT INVESTMENT INITIATIVE

Senate Bill 669 aims to terminate the extended turnaround plan for the Providence Public School District (PPSD). It specifically nullifies a decision made by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (D.E.S.E.) on August 29, 2024, which had extended the PPSD's turnaround action plan until October 15, 2027. If enacted, this bill would end that extension, thereby altering the state's current oversight of Providence public schools. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
