$160,000,000 of taxpayers money and this is what the School Committee has to show for it?

They spend $23,000,000 more than Cranston and have 1,300 less students and we have

- teachers with no contracts,

- a student population that went from 17,000 to 9,000

- black mold - no heat - and a dozen other life threatening issues

- more and more vacant buildings

and a School Committee that spends tens of thousands on public relations, administrators, and litigation while refusing an honest audit to show where the taxpayers money goes.

Do we even need a School Committee? Could the City Council do a worse job? I don't see how and it would save the taxpayers a ton. At least the City Council is somewhat accountable to the taxpayers. The School Committee adamantly refuses any level of responsibility or accountability to the people that are paying the tab.

The School Committee feels "entitled" to take the taxpayers money without any responsibility as to how it is spent. That has to come to an end. Taxpayers just can't afford it!

Happy Spring everyone.
