Let's call it for what it is. The current school committee stood up for once with the help of current Superintendent.

The all powerful Union with the help of our current (and some say Gutless) Mayor pushed, harassed, bullied until they

got what they wanted. I predict the following. #1 - the contract will give the teachers retroactive pay for the full two school years

without contract. Keep in mind that almost 100 percent of teachers followed "work to rule" during this period. If you are a parent and have a child in the Warwick school system you know how this impacted your child. It would be despicable if teachers were given retroactive money for just showing up to work these past years without ANY of the social activities the children looked forward to.The teachers got FULL paychecks. Did your child get Full teacher participation? .#2 - the contract will provide generous ( above cost of living ) raises to each of the ten "steps" and beyond.

#3 - the teachers will still get 18 "sick" days per 185 day work year Without requiring a Doctor's Note. (Note: if your child was away from school this many days there would be Severe consequences). I want to personally Thank all members of the school committee ( even Baccus) for trying to stand up to the "UNION" . An even bigger Thank You needs to go to our Superintendent. A valiant effort was made to try and bring fiscal sanity to uncontrolled and out of control situation.
