Avedesian thinks school consolidation is going to work and save money? He thinks the professionals in the school administration aren't going to embarrass him and cost the city millions?

NEWSFLASH

Director of Secondary Education Steven Ruscito has just been suspended for sexual misconduct.

THIS IS THE GUY WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE MASTERMINDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSOLIDATION!!!!

Scott, this consolidation is going to hell in a handbasket.

These are your "leaders."

- the director of special ed is under investigation for willfully violating federal IEP laws.

-The director of Secondary Education is now suspended for doing something sexually icky.

-The new director of Human Resources is directly connected to the law firm that is getting paid big bucks to represent the district.

-the Superintendent of schools is busy illegally violating the WTU contract. The Rhode Island Labor Relations Board has already ruled (again!) that the contract stays in effect until a new contract is reached. A contract is legally binding, and you can't change it just because you want to. Adults acknowledge reality and deal with it- contracts are negotiated.

Scott,

You have a full-scale disaster going on in the school department. Everybody knows it, but Phil Thornton and his administration are going to pretend to the very end that they have it all under control.

They don't.

Ask them to present real evidence of what they have actually completed in this consolidation process. The true answer will shock you, considering their plans to tear apart and completely reorganize the school district between now and the end of August.

They have no idea how to do this. They have nothing real done. The emperor has no clothes.
