A few points here.
1. Why is $100k needed to fund a mentoring program that is staffed by volunteers? I do not questions that some kids may benefit. But I'm not sure how a mentor-student relationship is enhanced by $100k, unless it is another non-profit whose primary financial beneficiaries are those individuals who administer the program.
2. 6.88% increase from the city is an absolute nonstarter!
3. We have Teachers. Then we have Teaching Assistants. We also have Teachers' Aids. Add in Math Interventionists, Special Education teachers, and the 82nd Airborne and here are the results: Fewer than 1 in 4 kids is deemed to be competent in Math in Warwick's high schools. As it stands, the system is an unmitigated disaster.
In the Name of God...will someone on the SC PLEASE take a step back and ask the question: What, exactly, are Warwick taxpayers getting in measurable outcomes, in exchange for $19,000 per pupil?!
