RILINK Schools Policy Update

Please read carefully the changes to the RILINK Schools Policy and submit the Acknowledgment Form by March 1. Several factors necessitate these changes. A recent review of content in the site revealed
  • 84 Unpublished Guides not updated in 3 or more years
  • 77 Private Guides not updated in 3 or more years
  • 122 Published Guides not updated in last year

Additionally, Link Checker indicates over 6000 possibly broken links are present in the site. The changes in the policy will help to ensure only accurate information is being offered on the sites.
