Forgive me if I appear confused. Why would Tollgate be on double sessions if there already is enough room at Pilgrim to house all the Vets students? If Warwick School Committee is confident of the plan they have put in place, why not send the students there? It would make more sense to ensure the plan works before the other schools are closed to see how the consolidation plan would play out?

Has anyone compared the renovation costs of Warwick Veterans and Pilgrim to the costs of a new school that would house the students without being over crowded or forced to be on double sessions? If Veteran's boiler over hall will cost 3.5 million, what will Warwick School Committee do if Pilgrim's heating system fails again? What else might become a catastrophic problem? Plumbing? What will have to be cut in the upcoming budgets to continue to repair these building that are out of date and in disrepair?

The consolidation plan the current School Committee is working under is ten years old. It is time all stake holders including the Mayor, the City Council Members, the current Superintendent and the School Committee sat down together to figure out what will cost us the least over time and what is in the best interest of our students and the taxpayers not what is the biggest band-aid we can use to keep us going right now.
