HOPKINTON — An education compact between the town and Gov. Daniel McKee could soon provide the town with a new source of funding to support a wide range of learning opportunities in the community for residents of all ages. All the community must do is commit to lifelong learning through the governor's Learn 365 RI initiative, which aims to improve test scores considerably in the coming decade. It's an initiative that members of the Hopkinton Town Council are more than willing to support — provided of course that McKee and organizers keep their promise that there will be no mandates, unfunded requirements or other costs that will fall on the backs of local taxpayers.
