Maggie, you said "They have asked for more money and are unable to stay in budget with the money they have....they operate in the red". If you read the documents, you would see they ask for more money every year, get no additional money and end with a small surplus. So they are NOT in the red. The last time they went over budget was 2007 and it was $3.2 Million and the entire amount was paid back. The sewer authority was over budget over $7 million and they are paying it back a little at a time. I believe they are paying the city back $300-500K a year. It will take over 15-17 years to get the entire amount back, and that is without interest or inflation taken into account. The schools are within their budget and do a good job. I have said it before and I will say it again, when a realtor shows a house in Warwick, one of the first questions the buyer asks is, "how are the schools in the area?" not, "how are the sewers in the area?".

From: Schools to press for budget
