CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. (WPRI) — School districts around Rhode Island are set to receive more funding as part of the state's 'Facility Equity Initiative.' When the campaign was launched last October, it initially provided funding to five districts with the highest reimbursement rates: Central Falls, Pawtucket, Providence, West Warwick, and Woonsocket. Those districts received close to $13.4 million in funding for 26 projects across 17 schools, serving more than 11,000 students. That funding was used for things like new science labs, media centers, community rooms, and updated technology for classrooms.
