JohnStark,

You are 100% correct with your comments. The fact of the matter is that the collective bargaining system has bankrupted virtually every community. Of 14000 school districts in the US, the Warwick teachers are the 3rd highest paid with the 2nd highest benefit package. Further, it is my opinion that the union is refusing to accept any concessions for one reason and one reason only. They know that next year 4 members of the school committee will not be running again for office. This is their opportunity to select their candidates that, following in the tradition of Scott Avedisian, they will bow to the union concessions no matter what the impact is to the taxpayer. Not withstanding that 60% of the teachers do not live in Warwick and have children in other school districts, does anyone really believe that "its all about the kids". Cant wait to see them fired.
