RISD Board Approves Elementary School Consolidation Plan
On March 21, 2024 RISD trustees voted to approve Project RightSize proposals that will consolidate and repurpose five elementary campuses.
The overall plan will reduce operating expenditures by an estimated $10.8 million per year, and also result in an estimated $10 million of one-time funds.
Project RightSize represents a major element of our school district plan to reduce the 2024-25 projected operating budget deficit and simultaneously address longtime inefficiencies in how RISD elementary schools are zoned and operated.
