Jackie & Jennifer: I do not share the confidence that you both have that our current city leaders have the capability or the willingness to make the long range plans needed to properly address Warwick educational, facility and budgetary needs for our students and the citywide services for all citizens. This really isn't rocket science.

In 2006 in my final meeting as Chairman of the School Committee I addressed many of these issues and laid out my thoughts on what needed to be accomplished to tackle these challenges. Many of my predictions came true and sadly we are still facing some of the same issues 7 years later because the leaders in the city didn't care to address them.

If you get a chance please read a copy of what I said. The situation now is worse. Keep up the good work. At least you and your committee have taken the time and collected the data and analyzed a thoughtful approach to tackle the school consolidation issue. This isn't going to be easy but its needs to occur.

You should both consider running for office in the future. Warwick needs good people like you with fresh ideas looking to the future.
