I agree with the other comments. This is frustrating to see after all the money the City of Warwick and its taxpayers are pouring into the teachers salaries. First of all, when the Police, Fire, and other city employees were paying more for benefits, less pay, no raises, etc... the teachers continued to only pay the 11 dollar co-pay for health coverage. They had no concessions to ease the burden on the tax payers that the other unions contributed. They take up 85 percent of the city budget and this is what we are paying for ? The teachers should not be using the students as a venting source. In stead, they should be happy they have jobs and teaching their asses off ! I'm sorry but teachers have the best gig. A lot of time off, great benefits and pay. I'm not writing this as the jealous person, I'm writing this as a exhausted tax payer.

Closing schools is a good idea, however the down side is the large classes on the other end. I think large classes is harmful to the kids that need extra help.

Privatizing is a bad idea. There probably would be a bunch of illegal immigrants cleaning the schools if the jobs were privatized just like in landscaping and other such jobs.

If the city wants to get serious about taxing its residents to death, and lowering debt than the school admin. is the place to start cutting the fat, if you will. It makes perfect sense to bring that 85 % down to 50 %.
