JOINT RESOLUTION MAKING AN APPROPRIATION OF STATE EDUCATION AID TO THE TOWN OF RICHMOND IN THE AMOUNT OF $331,064

This bill proposes to provide $331,064 in state education aid to the Town of Richmond, which is part of the Chariho Regional School District. The funds are intended to offset a reduction in total state education aid that the Governor included in the upcoming fiscal year budget. If approved, the state controller will issue payment orders to the general treasurer upon receipt of proper documentation. This measure directly affects the town's ability to receive state funding for education during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.
