As expected the Rhode Island Board of Education has voted to extend the contract of state education commissioner Angélica Infante-Green.
The contract has been extended for three years.
Governor Dan McKee said in a letter to the board that Infante-Green has shown a deep commitment to Rhode Island students, teachers and families.
She began the job in 2019 as the state took control of the Providence School District following a scathing review from Johns Hopkins.
The Providence Teachers' Union accuses Infante-Green of creating a toxic environment at the RI Department of Education and in the capital city school district.
