As RISD faces a $28 million deficit, district leaders say Project Rightsize would reduce spending by nearly $10.8 million.

District leaders voted 7-0 on boundary adjustments, moving forward with closures and consolidations for the 2024-2025 school year.

While Duck Creek’s neighborhood school, Dartmouth Elementary, is not part of the list of closures, some parents are were about the boundary changes Project Rightsize entails. “We moved here 18 years ago with a vision of what our family was going to be," Warren said."And it wasn’t moving from to school like we did. It was walking our children to school and from school every day, knowing the names of our neighbors.”

According to the online petition, “Under the proposal, an estimated 113 Dartmouth students would be rezoned out of the neighborhood school to make room for 221 students being displaced by Springridge Elementary’s closure.”
