Power corrupts.
The School Committee (SC) has over three and a half million dollars in their cash reserve fund for their health benefits. They haven't needed to withdraw a penny in over seventeen years, because they have never needed to and never will. They also have the salaries of the dozens of teachers that they laid off JUST THIS YEAR! Why can't they afford to send these checks out on Dec. 21st? They clearly have plenty of the taxpayers money to afford it.
"IF", and I haven't seen the document so that's an honest "if", the School Committee sent Darlene Netcoh a written commitment to give the teachers a certain amount of money on a certain date, and they don't comply with their WRITTEN AGREEMENT, they should be criminally charged!
"IF" that is the case, they have acted in the worst possible way toward our teachers RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. That alone is the most shameful act I have ever witnessed them do. I have been calling for an independent audit of the SC from an independent, outside, third party for years. Now I think it should be a forensic one. What is going on in the SC, I believe, is criminal!
The Mayor needs to get involved. We can't let Warwick's reputation to be tarnished ...again.
Our teachers deserve much better than this.
Merry Christmas everyone.

The Taxpayers Mayor
