You are correct Scal and you pointed out something that I think a lot of people don't understand and that is that any money that the school committee gets is not going to sports. Whether through the lawsuit or the two sides make a deal I think the schools will only get enough money to cover the essentials needed for the kids to continue their education. Sports and clubs are seen more as a privilege. Although I disagree but if the choice is for the kids to have library and textbooks or to play sports then its a no brainer that you have to get the kids books. I will be surprised if sports is reinstated next school year. It's probably a good idea to drop sports for the next couple of years so the school committee can get its house in order. The deficit is going to be even bigger next year and I haven't seen or heard anyone talking about the future going forward unless the plan is to sue the city every year for more money or go to the city, hat in hand begging for money. It's a shame that it has come down to this. Sports is what everyone is talking about but I think the bigger story is that they can't even afford textbooks. That's just sad and so wrong on many levels. Regardless of who is at fault, just fix it so that the few kids who will be left in the Warwick school system have an opportunity to get a decent education.
