Extra Info for LWV re: School Building Conditions

The 2013 RI Dept. of Ed report by Joseph DaSilva, RIDE School Construction Coordinator. The report, Schoolhouse Report, was a 3 year study on the conditions and capacity of RI school buildings.

The 2014 Senate Task Force on School Housing Aid. This committee was charged with examining school facilities-funding for upgrades, repairs, closing buildings, etc. NOTE the members on the task force.

Providence City Council 2014 resolution (introduced by Solomon) asking for a Master Plan to assess/upgrade school buildings.  NOTE:  This resolution hinged on the state moratorium on construction/repairs ENDING this summer.  The General Assembly extended the moratorium.  NOTE the 80% reimbursement the city hoped for from the state.
