RC held four workshops in northern, central, southern and eastern RI in 1994 to refine draft river classifications. Governor Lincoln Almond inaugurated January 1, 1995. Michael Cassidy, Planner for the City of Pawtucket, became RC chair. RC, working with the Divison of Planning, created digital maps of the state's watersheds. The State Planning Council adopted the RI Rivers Policy and Classification Plan, in January 1998, as State Guide Plan Element 162.

INSTITUTION Rhode Island State Dept. of Education, Providence. PUB DATE 1999-00-00 NOTE 41p.; For related document measuring Rhode Island schools, see TM 030 078. PUB TYPE Reports - Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Academic Achievement; *Academic Standards; Annual Reports; *Elementary School Students; *Grade 4; Intermediate Grades; *Standards; State Programs; State Surveys; *Test Results; Testing Programs IDENTIFIERS *Rhode Island ABSTRACT This second annual report on public K-12 education in Rhode Island focuses on fourth graders, an age group that represents the most vulnerable portion of the school population. As the percentage of proficient fourth graders increases, the secondary schools will find it easier to raise their levels of proficiency. Rhode Island administers a School Accountability for Learning and Teaching (SALT) Survey to yield information about the key dimensions of school functioning. The SALT Survey consists of versions for elementary, middle, and high schools with different forms for parents, teachers, students, and administrators. This report presents information from the SALT survey and some additional sources to paint a portrait of what education actually looks like in Rhode Island's schools. Data are grouped into discussions of: responsive schools; student assessment; community support networks; and well-prepared, well-supported teachers. An analysis of information about Rhode Island schools suggests that three things are necessary to achieve 100t proficiency for all fourth graders:(1) taking care of the multiple needs that influence children's ability to perform in school; (2) giving teachers and students the opportunities they need to teach and learn commensurate with established standards; and (3) focusing first and foremost on reading.

    EY GEN RN E O R T A T L A S STATE OF RHODE ISLAND T D OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL A N T A E L O S Peter F. Kilmartin F I RHODE ATTORNEY GENERAL 2017 Annual Report OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 150 South Main Street, Providence, RI 02903 (401) 274-4400 www.riag.ri.gov Greetings; 2017 was a year of political unrest and resiliency. With the Trump Administration attempting to rollback or undue almost every policy put in place under the previous administration, the role of state Attorneys General has become more important than ever. Attorneys General have been on the front line of the fight against the turbulent Trump administration’s disregard for the rule of law and collectively have served as a check and balance, holding the administration, corporations, and all institutions legally accountable to the people of Rhode Island and the country. In the past year, we have mounted legal challenges to the various travel bans, opposed the ban on transgender troops in the military, and supported the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, women’s health rights, students, the environment, workers, and consumers. While our office was very active on national issues, we were equally busy working on behalf of Rhode Island citizens in criminal court, resolving issues for consumers, and defending the State of Rhode Island in civil lawsuits. Included in this Annual Report is a brief overview of the initiatives and actions the Office of Attorney General and its employees took on behalf of the public. It is a mere fraction of the work the employees do day in and day out, for which they deserve great praise.

Additionally, we had a changing of the guard in the Judiciary. Chief Justice Frank J. Williams retired on December 30, 2008 after nearly eight years at the helm.

The images of a line of troopers bursting past tribal members, a police dog nipping at a person sprawled on the ground, and the wife of a tribal council member lying handcuffed in a fetal position with troopers looming over her were impossible to ignore. But the analogies many people made to images from the civil rights movement in the South in the 1960’s and depictions in films like “Mississippi Burning” missed a larger point. Governor Carcieri’s ill-advised approval of a raid on tribal land by state police was only the latest in a string of actions he has taken that have demonstrated both an insensitivity to the legitimate rights and expectations of people of color in Rhode Island and an enormous lack of interest in considering their viewpoint before making decisions that may have tremendous negative consequences for them.
