Hi again. When contacting the RI Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, you are contacting RIDE, the RI Department of Education (RIDE). They are giving you their interpretation of the law. RIDE may interpret a law as they want to but their interpretation does not supersede the law. An email from the department of Education does not override the law. Again, no where in this law does it specify that if the mentoring takes place at a business or not on school grounds that the mentor is exempt from the law.

I am aware that there are planned meetings with parents to talk exactly about the situation. The school has received many questions and they probably feel it is better to have a meeting and answer all the questions at once rather then answer one at a time. I am sure the Beacon will be there and the information will be posted on the School website. It is probably best to attend, if possible, so you can have the rest of your questions answered and hear them directly from the source.
