The Governor has participated in Reading Week events at Quidnessett Elementary School, Meadowbrook Elementary School, Garvin Memorial School, and Cumberland Hill Elementary School. He also plans to visit Oakland Beach School. K-12 education funding was a key priority in Governor Chafee’s proposed fiscal year 2013 budget.
