The bill amends Section 16-7.1-5 of the General Laws related to the Paul W. Crowley Rhode Island Student Investment Initiative, focusing on intervention and support for failing schools. It specifies that the intervention, support, and control by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education may only be exercised in up to two schools within one school district at any given time. This limitation does not apply to any intervention, support, and control that has been initiated and is in effect prior to or as of July 1, 2025.

The bill removes the previous requirement for funding dedicated to the Rhode Island Consortium for Instructional Leadership and Training. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
