Rhode Island establishes a new education funding and accountability act to overhaul the state's public school funding formula.

The Rhode Island Education Funding and Accountability Act establishes a comprehensive, transparent, and student-centered funding formula for all Rhode Island public schools. It aims to distribute state and local resources equitably according to instructional need, ensure municipalities contribute in proportion to their fiscal capacity, and link expenditures to student outcomes. The act defines a core education amount, sets up a tiered system of support and intervention for local education agencies, and mandates early childhood education integration.
