The bill amends Section 16-7.1-5 of the General Laws concerning the Paul W. Crowley Rhode Island Student Investment Initiative. It requires the board of regents to adopt progressive support and intervention strategies for individual schools that fail to meet performance goals. 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 control does not apply to any interventions that have been initiated and are in effect prior to July 1, 2025.

The bill removes references to school districts in certain contexts, emphasizing interventions at the individual school level instead. It also eliminates a provision regarding funding for the Rhode Island Consortium for Instructional Leadership and Training for FY 2007. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with the aim of enhancing educational outcomes through targeted support and intervention strategies.
