Majority Leader Kelly. Governor Almond. Lieutenant Governor Fogarty. Members of the General Assembly. Distinguished educators. Guests. Parents. Teachers. Students... I am pleased to report to you tonight that the state of education in Rhode Island has been profoundly and forever changed for the better because you have had the collective foresight and the political will to change it. At every level, there is an emerging appreciation of the importance of truly preparing our students for our future. From the school house to the state house, we are committed to progress and, more than ever, we know that results matter There has been a sea-change in our community. Teachers, parents, and administrators understand that the stakes are high. They desperately want their students to perform. Students want schools that work for them. Political and community leaders want the best education that they can afford. The educational environment in Rhode Island, in every community, has tremendous potential, and educators are hungry for the resources they need to meet the challenges of the 21st century. In the last few years we have created a community of interest-it includes the Governor, the General Assembly, the Board of Regents, school committee members, teachers, administrators, parents and students alike. Through this community we have raised expectations and identified standards of student achievement. We have made education a priority in Rhode Island, and we have achieved national recognition for our efforts.
