The bill proposes amendments to the Council on Elementary and Secondary Education and the Rhode Island Board of Education, primarily increasing the council's membership from eight to ten members and establishing a Student Advisory Council with one elected representative from each public secondary school in Rhode Island. The Rhode Island Teacher of the Year will now serve as an ex-officio and voting member of the council, and the quorum requirement will change from five to six voting members. Additionally, the Student Advisory Council is mandated to meet quarterly, replacing the previous vague requirement of meeting "from time to time."

In terms of the Rhode Island Board of Education, the bill increases the number of public members from seventeen to nineteen, introducing two new members: the Rhode Island Teacher of the Year and the chairperson of the Student Advisory Council, both of whom will require Senate approval and serve limited terms. The bill also stipulates that no board member can serve more than three successive three-year terms, while the chair serves at the governor's discretion. These changes aim to improve representation and governance within Rhode Island's educational system, with the bill set to take effect immediately upon passage.
