Governor Dan McKee and the Rhode Island Department of Education are pleased to support summer learning programs through the Governor's Learn365RI and Math Matters RI initiatives. Programs are taking place across Rhode Island with a focus on math for rising Kindergarten through 9th grade students. RIDE has created an interactive map of summer learning programs funded through these initiatives. Click here or on the image below to go the interactive map of Summer Learning Programs.

Learn365RI

In April 2023, Governor Dan McKee announced a new out-of-school learning initiative, Learn365RI, which is designed to shift learning from the traditional 180 school days to 365 days of learning by supporting partnerships between municipalities, local education agencies (LEAs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) to expand high-quality, extended learning experiences.

The Advancing Learning Beyond the 180-Day School Year grant program is part of the Governor’s Learn365RI initiative, with the long-term goal of improving student learning outcomes and increasing three key metrics:

• Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System (RICAS) mathematics and English Language Arts scores
• School attendance rates (chronic absenteeism)
• Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) completion rates

In partnership with the Governor’s Office, RIDE has been engaging with city and town leaders statewide to strategize and advance the priorities of Learn365RI. 

Since its launch, there have been two rounds of funding, totaling $7 million, to support Learn365RI programming in 32 municipalities across RI. Each municipality has taken a different approach to creating partnerships that support youth learning outside of the traditional school day.
