Report Inappropriate Comments

Before Thornton arrived, the school committee voted to close some schools due wasteful under-utilization. He is implementing what the voters, through their school committee that they elected, decided. Most comments at that time was that consolidation was long overdue because there are so fewer students today in Warwick (and still dropping). As to Corrente's comment about working without "security" of a contract, I have worked virtually my entire adult life with no "contract"! And been through many layoffs. That's called real life. There is an issue I agree with the teachers on, even though Warwick's counting special needs learners as 1.5 or 2 for purposes of class size is fairly unique, I agree with doing that. When special needs students are to be mainstreamed, then those classes should have less students so that every learner gets the attention they need. I'm not a teacher but thats the way it seems to me. As a voter I would ask everyone to please try and make the system work, for all of us and for the kids. Let's give the new superintendent and the school committee a chance here.
