Education – Central Falls Rhode Island

Filed under: Jill Landesberg-Boyle — Admin @ 9:55 pm

I just learned about a a fairly drastic measure taken by the State Education Commissioner to fix one of the most poorly performing schools in Rhode Island.   The Commissioner had 3 options at her disposal to address the issues at Central Falls: school closure, take over by a charter or school-management organization, transformation such as longer school hours, or “turnaround”.  the Commissioner work for transformation changes first, but when she could not get agreement she executed the  ”turnaround” option, which is the firing of all teachers and the ability to re-hire at most 50% of the staff.  Fairly drastic move, but maybe this is what is needed????

  2. Don’t have enough money to buy a building? Worry no more, because that’s available to take the business loans to work out all the problems. Therefore get a auto loan to buy all you require.
