In December 2013, the SC voted to consolidate schools, something that any thinking person in the city saw coming for the better part of two decades. Yet, there was the obligatory "outrage" from all the usual suspects. Hence, the SC elected to abdicate their professional and civic responsibility and punt to a third party consultant. Said consultant came back and said the SC recommendation didn't go nearly far enough and that more schools needed to be closed. Result: "outrage". So the SC tabled the rather expensive recommendations from the consultant and voted to consolidate to a lesser degree. Result: "outrage". Perhaps it's time to recognize that ANY significant change (e.g consolidation, curriculum changes, layoffs, testing of any kind) in the rusting hulk that has become the Warwick public schools will result in "outrage" and simply move on.
