AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- MAYORAL ACADEMIES

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes rules for the governance of mayoral academies in Rhode Island, which are charter schools serving students from multiple cities and towns.

The legislation also allows for nonvoting advisory members from each included town and mandates that student admission be determined by lottery when enrollment exceeds available spaces. Additionally, the bill ensures that no student or teacher is required to participate in these academies and that school districts must facilitate transfers for those who opt out.
