Central Falls School District

Central Falls School District is a school district headquartered in Central Falls, Rhode Island, United States.

The school district fired all teachers at Central Falls High School when they declined to spend 25 minutes more per day as part of remediating deficiencies under the No Child Left Behind Act.

[1] In accordance with NCLB legislation, schools deemed failing have four options to follow for restructuring.

The teachers' union refused to accept to work 25 minutes of extra time under the "transforming model", so the superintendent went ahead and chose the "turnaround model", which requires a district to fire the entire staff (teachers and administrators).

In May 2010, the teachers were rehired when they agreed to work the extra time required.
