Home : Target 12 :

The Target 12 Team contacted each school district and requested a copy of their current contract pursuant to the Access to Public Records Act. We then read and catalogued the contracts for all 36 school districts and compared the data. Finally, we spoke with officials from the RI Department of Education, the RI Federation of Teachers and the RI Association of School Committees.

The information below represents a summary of contract elements.  For full details, most current contracts are posted on the website of the Rhode Island Association of School Committees.
