Brought to the Committee's attention on Monday(6/8/15) night that RIDE's approval was needed before a school could be closed in the Fall? Didn't anyone on the Committee/School Administration check into this within the last 6 weeks? How many times have I read in the Beacon about how tight this process would be if planned for the Fall, 2015? OMG! Hello! Doesn't anyone see how this looks to families determining if they may want to relocate to Warwick? Not only does Warwick Public Schools have to compete with private & charter area schools, the school community isn't even on the same page. We are likely to find within the next 2-3 years the savings weren't achieved as expected, student enrollment has continued its downward trend, & the School Committee can't manage the educational programs/& or the budget. What happens when the district has to decide which 6 elementary schools need to be closed?
