JohnStark---------SOoooooooooo.......How long ago and where was your school psychologist experience. It doesn't sound like it was in Warwick. I think the person that posted as GARPIN answers part of your question. Also, in Warwick there are a lot more socio/economic factors involved than my seem apparent. Have you given any thought to how many former students that were considered "educationally handicapped" still live in Warwick? They are many, having several children....and guess what......those kids have issues too. Ask any long tenured special ed teacher in Warwick, I'm sure they'd tell you of instances where they were teaching the children of students they previously had.

What is sickening is that teachers are being portrayed as lazy, indifferent and ineffective by the current school committee. The special ed teachers don't determine how the students get categorized (you should know that). Warwick is top heavy with administrators overseeing programs that maybe could be out sourced to facilities that specialize in various types of special needs programs. Warwick used to send kids to Meeting Street School, The Tredeau Center and etc. They stopped doing so for cost reasons. It was argued that it was costing too much money. What they didn't seem to consider was how much more staff and teachers it was going to take to do it in house.

The current warwick school committee is an amatuer hour clown show.....and unmitigated disaster.....they have allowed the formation of the current school administration.....Can and will this administration answer your question without a lot of double speak....

How about some transparency.....why not tell the public why the last school superintendent they hired was fired and hushed up? Who do think hired the current (not in-compliance with current state and federal regulations for special ed) director of special ed?
