Turnaround Action Plan

As of November 1, 2019, the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) exercises authority over the Providence Public School District (PPSD), with the goal to develop and implement a Turnaround Action Plan (TAP) for the city’s education system. To deliver on this goal, Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education Angélica Infante-Green and the RIDE team are engaged with parents, educators, students, community members and experts to develop a shared vision for the future of Providence schools.

In early 2020, RIDE convened three Community Design Teams to develop initiatives for inclusion in the long-term Turnaround Plan for PPSD. These community-nominated and community-led teams focused their work on the three priorities the Commissioner identified in her vision for education in Rhode Island. These priorities are: World-Class Talent, Excellence in Learning, and Engaged Communities.
