Legislative Update

A message from Frank Flynn, RIFTHP President:

This week the Senate Education Committee and House HEW Committee passed bills related to charter schools. These bills S0087 Sub A and H5160 Sub A are critically important to the future of traditional public schools. As you are aware the continued expansion of charter schools has had a detrimental impact on our school budgets; in some cases forcing districts to eliminate programs, cut staff, and reduce opportunities for students. The continued expansion of charters, particularly Mayoral Academies, will create parallel school districts resulting in a costly and unnecessary duplication of programs and services.
