School Committee malfeasance is staggering

Posted

To the Editor,

The Warwick School Committee should resign.

The level of malfeasance by the Warwick School Committee is staggering. How did they manage to accumulate a $9-million deficit without anyone noticing? Where were the checks and balances? Where was the fiscal responsibility? Did no one feel compelled to review the balance sheet periodically throughout the fiscal year? Do these individuals even balance their own checkbooks?

It's easy to overspend when it's someone else's money. The members of this committee involved in this debacle should resign immediately, starting with the chair. It's bad enough that they are $40 million over budget on the 'two-for-one' high schools. Now, they've proven they can't be trusted to manage a simple annual budget.

Warwick homeowners should start calling the mayor’s office to complain about these inept public servants. They can't do basic math, and they can't produce students who can, either. As homeowners, we have a choice: continue to throw money at these spendthrifts or move.
