Captain,

While I appreciate the cost formula in MA, as well as the pathological formula here in Warwick, both estimates include only inputs while largely ignoring outcomes, both desired and realized. Not surprising, given that academic outcomes are largely minimized (or glossed over) in the city. A quick glance at Tollgate's mission statement proudly proclaims the school's "..supportive environment" amidst an "...ever changing society" but not a word about Excellence, Achievement, or Merit. Given that fewer than 1 in 4 TG students is able to demonstrate proficiency in Math, I guess it's reassuring that they feel "safe" in the process. And this is not something $190M will not fix.
