Agreed Jennifer, we do need to acknowledge that this recommendation addresses the "Here and Now" and that it does not NEGATE the need for new facilities. The Committee is aware of that need, now if only the City Council and Mayor would acknowledge that need too. Also, I believe the School Committee should be advocating aggressively (not through threats or intimidation) for the City to step into the foray and hire an outside planner for the City's schools! School Department should not be on the hook for the facilities, since the City owns those facilities. I still don't understand why the School Department has had to pay for the Fire Code upgrades in the schools when those upgrades were mandated by the State of RI for the cities and towns across the state? Why wouldn't that responsibility go to the City of Warwick? Didn't the City of Warwick take care of the Fire Code upgrades on the other publicly held buildings in the City? The whole thing is a boondoggle. We need to address the secondary schools now and, right now they are more than half empty and are not getting any better.
