JohnStarks.....Honestly, I don't know the answer. Maybe the DPT's are evaluating incorrectly or there is too much literal interpretation of guidelines and not using common sense when evaluating kids. It could be that there is more state and federal funds available to communities with higher numbers. More than likely it has something to do with the long standing mismanagement of the Warwick Special Ed. Dept. and the School Department in general. The recently retired Dr. D made his friend the Director of Special Ed. That person had absolutely no experience or background for the job.

Unfortunately the Warwick teachers get blamed for this and it takes the spotlight off of the real culprits. The Warwick School Department is mismanaged from top to bottom. How many reported cases of improper conduct by members of the department does it take to make this clear?

I would like to see a regionalized school system with the same state and federal guidelines for the entire region. There are many redundant positions within the school department.

I am really fed-up with the bloated bureaucracy of Warwick. That goes for schools, fire, police and any other departments that are milking the city dry.

I moved to Warwick in 1989 and bought my first house in 1995. In the 21 years I've owned my house my taxes have gone from $3,100 per year to $7,900 per year and there. The city services are worse than ever, the roads are in poor condition and the city is really looking seedy. I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!
