The Rhode Island Middle School Reform Act of 2004

SECTION 16-83-2



   § 16-83-2  Legislative findings. –

It is hereby found and declared as follows:



   The importance of education and the need to educate our

children to ensure the future of our state's work force and economic

development is one of the major goals of the general assembly; and



   Our state's top educators have been calling for school reform

that will help produce a higher performing public school that best meets the

educational needs of students; and



   The governor is calling upon our state's business leaders to

join the crusade for school change and reform by becoming involved in school

issues and by being part of the solution to help improve our public schools.



   The business education roundtable has been a catalyst for the

involvement of our business leaders in school reform; and



   The school improvement report of 2001 found that a

significant number of Rhode Island middle schools performed poorly. In

addition, the 2002 middle school performance analysis showed similar results;

and



   The "Rhode Island Middle School Reform Act of 2004" is

designed to improve education in all the middle schools in Rhode Island.
