The resolution H 6255 SUBSTITUTE A proposes the establishment of a special joint legislative commission to study the return of Central Falls schools to local governance. The commission will consist of seven members, including representatives from the Senate, House of Representatives, the Governor's office, the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Mayor of Central Falls, a representative from the Rhode Island Federation of Teachers and Health Professionals, and a financial leader.

The commission's objectives include developing a sustainable financial plan for the City of Central Falls to contribute to education funding and creating a comprehensive strategy for transferring school governance from the state to the city. The commission is required to meet regularly, solicit input from various stakeholders, and will receive administrative support from the Department of Education.

A final report detailing the commission's findings and recommendations must be submitted to key state leaders by March 3, 2026, and the commission will dissolve on July 1, 2026, unless extended by the General Assembly.
