The Warwick School Committee has dragged out its plan to hire a consultant to study consolidation options. If the School Committee had properly planned the consolidation of buildings over the last several years(closing Aldrich & Gorton; reconfiguring Vets) full fire code upgrades may not have been needed, freeing up funding for computers, etc. It's past time that Warwick's School Committee & community face the dilemma it has-education programs vs. too many physical buildings. Funding is not available to provide a quality education program AND maintain/upkeep buildings at half capacity(a situation that's not likely to change based on student enrollment projections). Add to these facts the HOPE for all day kindergarten-the MONEY"s not their/available. If Warwick wants a quality program it's time to close/consolidate buildings that were designed to accommodate a much larger student population.
