Maggie123, Please show me or tell me of ONE city in RI that has a department the size of the schools still working at 2008 levels in 2013. You can not because none other than Warwick are running at the same level as 5 years earlier. There have already been 5 years of cuts, closing schools, laying off staff, and ending programs. The only things left at this point are ALAP, music, arts, and sports. The costs have gone up in other areas and no additional funding has been sent to schools. The city has increased the budget $30 million annually. I am not suggesting the city raise taxes and give it to the schools. I am suggesting that the city NOT raise taxes, make REAL cuts in their budget and send a small amount to the schools so they can keep programs.

From: Schools to press for budget
