Here is the most important quote from this article to be considered:

"The budget includes a 3.1 percent reduction, totaling $5.22 million... which is the result of the loss of a potential $2.35 million incentive the schools could have received if the Warwick Teachers’ Union and school administration were able to come to terms on a new contract before the time to pass a new budget had come."

As alert readers know, the school committee approved a contract to be offered to the teachers union last week, which the union then rejected: http://warwickonline.com/stories/teachers-reject-mediated-contract-offer,126005?

It appears that the school committee did the work to qualify for an additional $2.35 million in funding, while the union did not.
