“Public schools are situated in a larger physical, institutional, and socio-economic context.  Providence's schools reflect the communities' diverse income, racial, ethnic cultural, and governing characteristics.  This tour provides an opportunity to look at a small sample of public schools from a broader perspective.”

RIDE schedules five public forums for ESSA community outreach

Public engagement for transition to the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) continues in late April and early May. RIDE will host five regional community forums to share updates and gather feedback on the draft recommendations for the state's ESSA plan.
