It's past time that the Warwick School Committee gets its act together.
1) Balance the upcoming School budget.
2) Negotiate & agree to a new Teachers' Contract.
3) Choose an interim Superintendent; from the article, State law REQUIRES a Superintendent to be in place. A NEW search can begin following the interim's selection/acceptance of that role.
4) Inform the State DOE of the school district's plan of its consolidation choice. If a middle school model(grades 6-8) will be used, determine types of certifications required for the process.
5) Consolidation 2 needs to begin; which elementary schools will & when will they be closed? What transportation issues need to be addressed?
If the above issues aren't addressed ASAP & publicly, the School District will not be viewed in a good manner-both within the district & from outside the district.
One more suggestion: the airport runway extension will likely have a larger effect on Warwick, including how it effects the school system, than we presently realize & the School Committee/Community need to act accordingly.
