Helena Foulkes on Education

 

 


Fund universal Pre-K, public preschool for three-year-olds

Helena will invest an additional $300M in public education through the state budget. She will transform early childhood education by fully funding universal Pre-K and creating a new state program to provide public preschool for three-year-olds. She will also propose changes to the state funding formula to finally provide sufficient resources for special education and multilingual learning and dedicate state funding for dual language and community school models.

Promised a single term if school test scores don't improve

We've never had a governor who has committed to be personally accountable for the results of our education system–it's time to change that. I've promised a single term as governor if school test scores don't improve. Our kids are our future, and we have a moral and economic responsibility to give them the amazing education they deserve. My plan calls for more teaching assistants in K-8 classrooms, universal PreK, expanding the RI Promise Scholarship to cover tuition for education majors.
