Rhode Island Mayoral Academies

Rhode Island Mayoral Academies (RIMA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for the statewide growth of mayoral academies: high-performing, diverse, regional public schools governed by mayor-led school boards.

Since 2008, RIMA has been at the forefront of shifting the way in which Rhode Island serves its children.  From establishment of the mayoral academy law to passage of the new funding formula to Race to the Top to the Central Falls District Charter Compact - RIMA, in conjunction with a coalition of mayors and partner organizations, has led the way for transformative change.
