First, Mr. Corley wishes younger siblings to attend the same school as older siblings. Touching, but not a reason to keep a school open amidst plummeting enrollment. A child has the right to a free and appropriate public education. He/she does NOT have the right to receive that education in their neighborhood.
Second, he disapproves of the beaurocratic process of school consolidation in the city. While he is correct that there have been a myriad of commissions, committees, and studies over the last 6-7 years they all came to virtually the same conclusion: Close schools!
Warwick is both a shrinking and greying economic pie. If families of means with high academic expectations move to Warwick in the first place, it is with the understanding that their children will not attend public school after 8th grade. I recently observed teachers conducting class in shorts and/or jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers. It should come as no surprise that a slovenly appearance translates to slovenly academic outcomes, both of which are clearly being avoided by an increasing number of parents.
