Perhaps one of the reasons "the rate of special Ed identification in Warwick is about 20%" is because we have a pretty fabulous early intervention program. Child outreach is in place for this very reason. To identify and provide resources to children/families in need. So why, all of a sudden, are some of these children and their families being told that they no longer need services? Our schools are being consolidated, children with special needs are no longer being "weighted", and not only that, some will be placed in a large classroom for the first time ever. How is this helping them, or the other students next year!? My 4 children have been in the Warwick school system for over 16 years. I can not tell how thankful I am to only have one more left! We have been active members in our children's PTO, been to sooo many school committee meetings/consolidation meetings. I have friends leaving Warwick because they are horrified with what is happening with the school district. Please do not forget what this school committee has done! I will only be voting for one to return, and she is the one who stayed at the meeting, when all others walked out!
