Universal Citation: 200 RI Code of Rules 20 20 2.3

Current through September 18, 2024

A. The Council, based upon its experience in supervising public education in Rhode Island, finds that it is critically important for students to receive effective instruction and that a teacher's lack of competency in the use of the English, as defined in this Part, creates a serious, immediate and continuing risk to student progress and safety, both of which require immediate and effective action by school authorities and by the Commissioner in order to protect the educational welfare and safety of the students concerned.

B. The Council further finds that the maintenance of effective instructional standards and the effective and safe operation of public schools require that school administrators be competent, as defined in this Part, in the use of English.
