Dan McKee is making a big bet on his Learn365RI initiative, a state program that funds out-of-school learning opportunities for students to complement their traditional schooling.
McKee supports out-of-school learning programsPatrick Anderson: Well, the governor has always been a very big believer in out-of-school learning.
There are studies that have been positive on the impacts of expanding the school day and then out-of-school learning – having children do educational activities outside of just regular school – that are fairly positive.
He doesn’t want to commit local money to staffing these either community learning centers or the programs and Learn 365.
That’s really going to be the big political question: what the test scores are.
