Administration raises account for $86,000 and they haven't had a raise in 5 years, but they now pay a 20% co-pay which far exceeds the raise. Where will the other $3.391,400 come from? Rather than take back the $86K, I would raise the co-pay to 25% for administration. I would then put the unions on notice that the co-pay for all employees is going up to 25%. I would negotiate for the increase now and when their contracts are up, if they haven't agreed to raise it to 25%, I would suggest the school committee start this now. I would finish the long term plan immediately and plan to close a school over the Holiday break when they vote again on a school closure. I would tell the State we don't have money for the computers to implement the Parcc testing and make the state provide it. I would go to the legislature and ask them to lift some of the restrictive mandates. I would sue the state for putting in a education funding formula that is not equitable for the Students of Warwick. (Warwick gets $20 Million while Providence, Pawtucket and Central falls get much more than Warwick. Warwick taxpayers subsidize education all over the state and then we have to do without. Rep Mcnamara, Chair of the Health, Education and Welfare Committee took care of Pawtucket where he was a public employee but did not watch out for his constituents regarding the funding formula.)
