Thank you Bob, I was aware of the some of the issues but certainly not in that detail. Your perspective is insightful and informative, as always. I fully support City funded long term solutions for the school infrastructure and while it might not be on the near horizon, I still retain hope for the future. In the meantime, conversations such as these, should continue and the current proposal can serve to create much more awareness of these issues. I have been part of major changes in the healthcare delivery system and its infrastructure (and some failed attempts) that involved union, board/management, physician, City of Providence, state, and federal collaboration/approval and while it may be a lengthy process, and take multiple attempts, it is possible. A story needs to be told, how we got here is a very important perspective but my emphasis on long range vision/planning (and my role in healthcare changes) relates to the rest of he story... providing detailed analysis of where we actually are, how it compares to other local/national districts and current standards, the impact on the entire school system and City, what we believe is appropriate and attainable/sustainable for the future, and what will happen if the current situation continues, are the chapters that need to be added to serve as a foundation for gaining the support for change. Forgive my ignorance if this has been done in the past and failed but even if it has, it's time to try again....and again.
