I question some of those numbers. City employees have not seen a raise in something like 2 or 3 contracts and they have over the course of that period paid more for benefits. A net loss per employee, not including the loss for cost of living expenses. I follow these things quite closely reading the beacon and the Warwick City website. Furthermore, when the muncipal workers had a 20% health care increase the teachers remained at 7% or 11 % I can't remember exactly. Only recently did they agree to a 1 year temporary increase which I believe drops back down again. No one has a problem with the school budget because,"oh it's for the children". Well Warwick has a lot of elderly citizens with no children in the schools. I don't see the grade results either. Warwick schools are not ranked high. Why is that? Oh they blame NECAP for that. But, doesn't every student in the state have NECAPS? The biggest expense by far is the school costs. You want to make real savings look at that budget !! Piss poor management and spending over the years with the school admin. budget. Schools 1/2 or less full. It is a complete waste. Teachers don't want any closings because they will have to take their big fat incomes elsewhere. Parents like the 1/2 full schools because the class rooms are small. But you pay a premium for all of this without the results of higher grades and graduation rates. "But, but the children are our future" The children will be fine. The ones that want to succeed will do so regardless on how many schools are open.
