REPORT: Update to Remote Access to Public Meetings Post-Covid (February 2025)
This is an update to our May 2023 report, summarizing how Rhode Island’s 39 city and town councils and 34 municipal school committees – two of the most important public bodies in any community – are operating in terms of providing remote public access and participation as of February, 2025.
Updated February 28, 2025: This report was updated after we were contacted by the Foster Town Council and North Smithfield School Committee with corrections.
