The teachers' position is basically this: "We don't want a single school closed, under any circumstances, ever." If Peter Stone's well-intentioned argument is valid, Warwick should add a junior high or two or three in order to increase property values. The fact is, property values and local public schools have little relationship to one another. Just ask residents of Boston and New York, where the schools remain deplorable while real estate values continue to skyrocket. The fact is, a junior high needs to close this year, and a high school in two years. And when Warwick goes to two public high schools, which is about seven years overdue, the remaining two schools will still be at only 65-70% capacity. It's time.
