Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Every child deserves a good education -- and so we must invest in the education of all of our children. Every child should have the opportunity to learn in an environment that is safe, healthy, and fully equipped to provide a twenty-first-century education.

We should have high expectations and ambitious goals for every student enrolled in our schools. Our school system must recognize, and celebrate, the unique assets of our diverse student body.

Rhode Island made an important step forward when it adopted an education funding formula. But that was just a first step. We need to improve the funding formula so that it better recognizes the funding needs of students in the City of Providence.

As a parent, I am vested in our public schools and know the value they have to our community.
I know that the hopes I have for my children depend upon a high-quality education. As your Representative, I will work tirelessly to make sure all children in Providence receive the education they need to have the best future possible.
