Oh good Lord!! "Thunderstorms"..."rainbows"... Unicorn sightings might be more apt. Here's the reality: Weather systems come and go. What's on the ground remains the same. $4M or $14M. Hell, it could be an additional $40M!! We have a system of public education in which an overwhelming majority of students are not close to meeting academic expectations, and teachers are compensated at a rate that is vastly disproportionate to the demonstrated academic outcomes of their students. This is all glossed over, or openly ignored, in a zeal to fund an athletic program that has broadly and severely underachieved for decades, with anemic rates of participation, all while competing against schools with one-half the enrollment of Warwick schools. And all that is with funding out the proverbial wazoo. The Beacon does a disservice to its readers by ignoring the broad decay that has befallen Warwick's schools, "rainbows" not withstanding.
