Once again the Warwick Beacon and the school committee have joined forces to vilify teachers.

Fact 1: Warwick teachers do not get short term disability from the school dept.

Fact 2: Those 90 sick days are there in place of providing a real short term disability insurance.

Fact 3: Warwick only pays for 5, that's right, 5 sick days per teacher. Any costs incurred by them in excess of the pool established for sick time is back charged to every teacher that was out even one day.

Fact 4: Warwick does not provide any teacher for time out due to pregnancy, surgery, treatments for cancer. The teachers take of our own by absorbing all the extra costs through the back charges. All that time goes against our sick time.

The Warwick Beacon and the School Committee should be ashamed for publishing such misleading, biased distorted information.
