Ken B maybe that can add the construction cost of bathrooms to deal with this issue to the estimated 200 million plus that SMMA reports the district needs to spend to bring the facilities up to code and keep them usable. I guess the three new sinks at Pilgrim does the trick. You can read all about this if you go to the district web site and click on SMMA then final report. As for the sinks, they are pictured in the District consolidation site. Looking at the numbers you could lay off all the teachers and still wouldn't put a dent in the cost. I am at a loss as to why we could build so many new school in the 50 and 60's and make Warwick a city young families wanted to move to. Our schools are like the bridges in the State, neglected for so long and now the bill has come due. It is time for the city leaders to begin a systematic approach to building new schools and selling the GOOD news to the residents. The upside is great schools = better home values and lower long term cost.
