The bill proposes the repeal of Section 16-2-34 of the General Laws, which established a seven-member board of trustees to govern the Central Falls School District. The new language introduces a revised governance structure, eliminating previous provisions regarding the board's powers, duties, and the appointment process.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 16-7.2-6 to create a Central Falls Stabilization Fund, which will ensure adequate funding for the district and require shared financial responsibilities between the state and the city. This fund will cover tuition payments for outplaced special education students and tuition payments to other public schools.

Furthermore, the bill establishes the Davies and Met Stabilization Fund to ensure appropriate funding is available to support students in these institutions. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, allowing for a transition period to implement these changes in funding and governance structures within the education system.
