Kammy,

FYI my father was a Superintendent for 20 years so I get the job probably better than most do that said. My point is look who is commenting on here the same 5-6 people NON OF WHICH have any true power within the politics of the city of Warwick.

I would like to correct you on a few points here:

• The superintendent of Warwick Schools is Dr. Phillip Thornton not Thorton as you repeatedly call use his name IE your comment yesterday.

• Just 6 months ago he did not tell the public about egregious health and safety issues risking the health and wellbeing of anyone who entered the buildings in issue . Remember the parents calling for his head?

• As for his legacy in Cumberland that you see as so successful : “In Cumberland, he would be leaving behind a pending union dispute over stipends for advanced degrees and a newly filed lawsuit by the former athletic director who is charging the town with violations of federal Title IX legislation.”

• “There is some irony in Warwick’s other choice for superintendent, McEwen. Thornton has railed against the state funding formula since arriving in Cumberland that has forced Cumberland schools to send millions of dollars to that quickly-growing charter school system. The BVP tuition for this year will be $3.2 million.” So in 2016 the tax payers of Cumberland payed $3.2 million to BVP and I am not sure they see the same success you do.

While the recent events of a sick out action may not have been the best move I can guarantee the support for the teachers has not completely fallen off by evidence of support signs around the city.

The thing I can tell you for FACT is we as the Warwick tax payers are being played by the government entities in place in this city…
