If money was the answer, families would be flocking to those school districts that spend the most money on their public schools; Bridgeport, Providence, Boston, Springfield, Worcester, Hartford, etc. Amount of money spent and measurable outcomes, in fact, have little to do with one another. Likewise, residential home values and quality of schools. Try finding a livable single family home in Boston for under $500k, then take a look at the deplorable condition of the schools. Property values have everything to do with the median income and education levels of those living in that particular community. RI, in general, continues to have the second lowest median level of adult education of the six New England states, and not coincidentally a depressed real estate market. Show me the graduate degrees and I'll show you high real estate values.

Bottom line: Anyone paying attention will tell you that secondary school consolidation should have happened five years ago. Superintendent, school committee, mayor: A collection of cowards.

From: Plan should focus on children’s education, not money saved
