As a former award-winning teacher and school administrator, Jonathon understands the dire state of our public education system. He will be an advocate for increasing the amount of resources we allocate to public education. He will revisit the funding formula and provide more support for special populations, low income students, and English language learners. Jonathon will also work on expanding the RI promise program to include all public colleges and universities. He believes that all Rhode Islanders should have access to a tuition-free college education.
