Dear Tony,
I enjoyed your letter. You couldn't be more right.
The School Committee (SC) receives $160 million tax-dollars every year (ONE AND A HALF BILLION DOLLARS SINCE 2009). Part of that money is supposed to be held aside for teachers salaries, past, present, and future.
It wasn't.
Instead, the SC spent a fortune on a public relations firm, tucked millions away in unnecessary "cash reserve" funds, and hired new SC staff like the "Assistant Principal of Teaching and Learning" and the "Assistant Principal of Climate and Culture".
Now they want to fund the teachers well-deserved back pay by harming our students. That is the perfect description of the word "extortion".
The only solution I see is an independent audit from a third party outside source with the results being published in the Warwick Beacon. I have said that now for over three years and today, we should all be demanding it.
Happy Valentines everyone.
