Justanidiot: Not a horrible idea. There are two problems, however. First, it's doubtful that the communities you listed have the room to accommodate 9,000 additional students, or 3000 per community. Second, the list does not include private or parochial schools. The inclusion of said schools would save Warwick taxpayers between 25 and 40% per student.

Jackie: I believe this Saturday marks the 18 month anniversary (6/13) of the LTFPC's report and subsequent rejection by the WSC. Since then, there have been numerous highlights: Enrollment has considered it's death spiral, two teachers from the same school have been arrested, a superintendent has retired in disgrace, an attorney was hired to investigate how paid professionals handled their responsibility, playing fields at city schools are deemed to be unplayable, and a system that spends $18,000 per student insists that taxpayers are not spending enough. But my personal favorite is the complete and utter lack of leadership, from the mayor to supt. to school committee, on the issue of consolidation. This abdication of responsibility has cost taxpayers untold millions without even factoring in the cost of a consultant to tell elected officials how to do their jobs. In the Dreaded Private Sector, everyone in sight would have been fired over a year ago. A better example of mind-numbing, governmental pathology I have not seen.
