Please stop saying that the education is over $17,000 per pupil. Where are you getting this information??? Please use legitimate data and documentation. You could say the fire budget is out of control because the number of firefighters we have is disproportionate to the number of fires we have in Warwick. The average Firefighter pay in RI is $23.26 and it only takes a couple hours to put a fire out, why do we have to pay them for the whole year? This reasoning is as illogical as your reasoning on schools.

Fact, city budget up $30 Million annually since 2008.

Fact school budget is the same as 2008. (The schools have been given a $432K increase for next year.)

Therefore, the cost per student should be nearly the same as the number of students in Warwick has not dropped dramatically in the last 5 years. I would say that families are leaving Warwick and RI at a faster rate due to mismanagement at the city and State level but the schools will continue to make cuts.

I have heard the the ALAP program is already being cut... what will be next? Music? Sports?
