Statement from Council President Matos on RIDE Report

Jun 25, 2019 | 0 comments

The report released today by the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) on the months-long deep dive completed by a research team from Johns Hopkins University is heartbreaking – not just for our students, but for our staff, faculty, and City. I am committed to working with Governor Raimondo, Commissioner Infante-Greene, Mayor Elorza, the Providence School Board, and our students, faculty, and staff to make a difference.

It won’t be easy, and we won’t see changes overnight, but this is a wake-up call. Our school system is failing our students and we need to act – not tomorrow – but today.

Sabina Matos, President, Providence City Council, Councilwoman – Ward 15
