RI 2030 Priority: Strengthening K-12 Education

Education is a fundamental pillar in the McKee Administration. Raising educational outcomes will provide the state with a quality workforce that is ready for employment, college, and other skill training opportunities. By focusing on preparing our students to achieve their greatest potential, Rhode Island will be ready to meet future employment needs and provide businesses with well-trained employees.

Expanding out-of-school learning opportunities and modernizing school facilities are essential steps toward fostering an environment where students can thrive both inside and outside the classroom. These initiatives will help address learning disparities, promote continuous skill development, and create spaces that support 21st-century education. Education is vital to our economic security and growth, serving as a catalyst for innovation and competitiveness in a rapidly changing job market. Investing in education today ensures a brighter future for our communities and the state’s overall prosperity.
