School funding in Rhode Island
Jose giz
MAIN IDEAS.
Graduation rates have been showing a steady increase due to more funding.
Schools have less than safe working conditions.
Federal funding/charter school spending.
Graduation rates have shown a steady increase.
Rhode island spends about $14,415 per pupil where the national average is roughly 10,700. That’s a four-thousand-dollar increase from the national average
Rhode islands increased its spendinng per pupil from about six thousand in ’91 to 14,459 in ’08
The estimated amount currently is about 16,000.
Since ’08 when this budgetary reform took place there has been a steady increase in graduation rateswhich one of the largest was in 2016, this comes right around the ten-year mark of the reform where students in a k-8 setting would be most affected.
Schools have less than safe working enviorments.
In a report posted September 13, 2017 it was estimated that Rhode island schools would need about 2.2 billion dollars to fix infrastructure issues in buildings.
These are issues ranging from leaking roofs, to mold in classrooms, and even chipped lead paint in hallway walls.
The appraisal rated the issues on a scale of 1-5, Categories 1-3 being the worst and 4-5 being the superficial things.
It’s been estimated that to be able to consider these schools safe, warm, and dry, it’d cost 628 million dollars. This would only mean a that Rhode island would fix the first two of the five categories.
Federal budget/ Charter school spending
As it stands Rhode island has one of the lowest ask rates in the country when it comes to federal aid and their schools.
Only about five percent of the annual budget comes from the federal government with more than fifty percent being taxed locally.
Since Betsy DeVos became the secretary of education in February 7, 2017 there has been an increased focus on charter schools.
Devos was awarded 4.4 billion dollars in order to open new charter schools, 1.1 billion of which was wasted on charter schools that either opened for little time and closed, or were built and never opened
The U.S government spends roughly 373 billion dollars on school funding, of these funds Rhode islands gets a about 193,393 dollars yearly for funding.
Major stake holders.
For
State senator Ryann Pearson.
The general public.
Against
Secretary of the department of education
Proposal.
Reallocate money from the 4.4 billion federal funds to “open” charter schools to better already built public schools.
Ensure from these reallocated federal funds so Rhode island gets enough to ensure their schools are safe, warm, and dry.
Since Rhode island has begun to show promise in its graduation rates we should up the yearly federal funding from the federal government.
