PROVIDENCE – A resolution passed by state lawmakers has created the Ocean State World Language Learning Commission to study the impact of Rhode Island’s funding formula on language learners.
The 19-member commission will study the impact of the state’s school-funding formula on English-language learners, dual-language learners and multilanguage learners. It will also be tasked with making recommendations on how to position Rhode Island as a national leader in language learning as outlined in the Rhode Island Roadmap to Language Excellence.
