Rhode Map Live: Funding the Future, Fixing the Formula

Tuesday, December 16 | 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. CIC Providence

Rhode Island spends more on education per person than almost any other New England state, yet student outcomes still lag. Why? At our next Rhode Map Live, we'll break down the state's complex school funding formula—now under review by a blue-ribbon commission—and explore new recommendations developed after a year of research and community input. Join education experts, teachers, and community members for a clear, lively conversation about what's working, what isn't, and what changes may be coming to Rhode Island's public school funding.
