Double funding for schools in "intervention" status
In his budget plan for next year, Governor Carcieri proposed to increase state funding for local schools by $41 million, which represents the largest increase in state aid for education in six years. That funding will help local communities educate
Rhode Island children while limiting increases in local property taxes.
To help bring up schools that have been classified in "intervention" status, Governor Carcieri allocated $2.9 million in FY 2006, doubling of funding from the previous year.
