EAST GREENWICH, RI – Governor Dan McKee and East Greenwich Town Manager Andrew Nota today signed the Learn365RI Municipal Compact.

“Investing in education is a direct investment in the future of Rhode Island, and that’s something everyone is in favor of,” said Governor McKee. “I thank our partners in East Greenwich for their commitment to their students through this initiative.”

“The Town of East Greenwich is committed to supporting the Governor on the Learn365RI initiative as we take on the challenges of improving learning outcomes for all of our students,” said Town Manager Andrew Nota. “We believe our ongoing efforts in addressing learning loss, wrap around services, and the social and emotional needs of our students, syncs perfectly with the Governor’s leadership in changing Rhode Island’s education culture and his efforts to effectuate positive change.”
