Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

"Without a constitutional amendment explicitly providing all students with a right to a quality education, our elected officials can continue to underfund Rhode Island's schools, failing to provide our children with the level of education they deserve"

Michelle believes that education is the heart of building strong communities. She supports an amendment to RI's constitution to explicitly state that every Rhode Island child has a right to a quality education. She believes that our school funding formulas are too precarious and should not rely on property taxes which creates inequalities in our education across the state. Michelle will work to protect and support schools. She will advocate for state-wide strategies to mitigate student loan debt, which is a huge burden on Rhode Islanders and weighs down our economy.
