There are so many points that I would like to refute in this article I could write an editorial. So, since this is a comment section, I will just keep it simple, as food for thought for everyone. My vote, keep the 3 high schools open and come up with another plan. My thoughts for all...

1. Why are the 3 administrators on the committee?

2. Why drop the committee from 19 to 15?

3. Google search 'vacant schools vandalized", its stunning, shocking and hopefully not in your neighborhood.

4. Who is cutting the grass, maintaining empty buildings, providing security for closed schools?

5. Ms. Harris-Conner needs to map quest her " I-95 on-ramp played into her decision" Vets is closer to WACTC, and there is less than 5 minutes difference in travel time to ANY other school in the state from either Pilgrim or Vets. ie... Mt. Hope, Westerly, East Greenwich, or Burriville..it does not matter.

6. Since we're on the net...lets search "class size and success" I'll agree that classrooms will be full and that is cost effective, but do you want your child or your neighbors child in a class of 35 others?

7. Please explain this one to me...“It’s very difficult to run a class with five or six kids,” said Racca, admitting that there is less one-on-one interaction between a teacher and a student but more opportunity for interaction with peers." eh?

8. Sports teams in Warwick are fair because the kids have no Jr. High programs. Westerly does, WW does, Coventry does...any wonder why our teams are mediocre?

9. How about the 8th grade to the high schools?

10. Thank you for the forum.
