I think Thornton strategically left some things out of his interview.

One, Warwick wasn't in the bottom third when he took over as superintendent. The year before he started, Warwick was at the state average in reading, math, and science. Not great, but better than the bottom third Thornton has led us to.

Two, he already reorganized. We were supposed to have great pathways for students, a focus on teaching an learning, and improvement in test scores. Five years later, and millions of dollars later, everything is worse and he wants to reorganize again.

Here's an idea, instead of the new Assistant Superintendent focusing on teaching and learning, how about Phil Thornton does it. I actually thought that was his job anyway.

Thornton said, "This has to change". Couldn't agree more, let's start with the guy on top.
