Rhode Island S2826 adjusts the student success factor in local education agencies based on poverty levels.

Rhode Island S2826 modifies the education equity and property tax relief act by adjusting the student success factor in local education agencies. When over 45% of children in a local education agency have family incomes at or below 185% of federal poverty guidelines, the student success factor will be set at 50% of the core instruction per-pupil amount. This change aims to ensure that funding aligns with the needs of students in higher poverty areas.
