AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Charter Schools Clash: Gov. Dan McKee signed a three-year moratorium on new Rhode Island charter schools, cutting the cap from 35 to 28 and retroactively ending charters not approved before July 1, 2025—prompting sharp criticism from families who say the schools are working. Ethics Watch: The Rhode Island Ethics Commission rejected a former House speaker’s bid to dismiss an ethics complaint, keeping a full investigation on the table. Quonset Sludge Freeze: McKee also signed a one-year moratorium on the proposed Quonset biosolids pyrolysis facility and created a 21-member commission to study long-term sludge disposal options. Traffic Update: Mount Hope Bridge lane reductions tied to the dehumidification project will continue through 2027, extending delays for commuters. Workforce & STEM: Rhode Island Commerce opened applications for the Wavemaker Fellowship, offering up to $6,000 a year in refundable tax credits for eligible STEM, design, healthcare, and education professionals. Public Safety Data: A new 50-state analysis flags Rhode Island among the biggest increases in nighttime speeding-related deaths. Local Business: Choice Collision Centers expanded in Providence, moving from Warren and boosting production volume under its shop-management setup. Education Costs: U.S. Sen. Jack Reed and others introduced a bill to nearly double the Pell Grant maximum and protect it from future shortfalls.
