1) I believe a letter went out at the beginning of the school year stating all school had ben brought up to fire safety codes over the 2014 summer months...Was that a lie and our children have been in danger all along????

2) If Gorton is closed 1st (before Aldrich) then the $ & time that would have been spent to bring THAT school up to code could be spent on bringing Aldrich up to code, thus avoiding its' closure (unless of course the School Committee has another use in mind just like it did for John Greene when we were told that building was unsafe for students, yet it was okay to upgrade it for School Admin purposes)

3) The talk of the Middle School Model has been going round and round for years now ~~ teachers could have been getting certified all along in preparation for this transition to take place. Of the 39 state municipalities, Warwick is the only one to not have fully implemented Middle School and Full day Kindergarten

4 )As for closing a high school, the seniors from that said year would be graduating from a different school regardless of WHEN a closing takes place so stop dangling this carrot in front of us as a scare tactic.

5) "The issue is that not all the reduction in staffing fits what would happen if a junior high school was closed. The system could end up with a surplus of teachers in some subject areas and shortages in others." Does this not speak of "Poor Party Planning"???? Would one not think to review where the surplus & shortages might be prior to layoff/closing talks so that some teachers might be able to fill in the gap? All of this reeks to high Heaven

6) "Superintendent" D'Agostino is an ACTING Superintendent ~ not to actual Superintendent so, perhaps, that determination could be made before any layoffs/closings as well.

7) Take in to account the fact that Apponaug & the Airport expansion/construction areas are a mess right now and getting children to/from any "Consolidation School" in a timely fashion would be hindered greatly by these situations. There are so many contingency factors that have not been taken into consideration OR if they have they are being blatantly ignored.

8) UNLESS AND UNTIL THE PEOPLE OF WARWICK GET PISSED OFF ENOUGH AND STAND UP AS A WHOLE AGAINST THE BULLY THAT IS THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE (i.e. go to every meeting and at election time VOTE these imbeciles out!) WE SADLY GET WHAT WE GET
