Time to connect the dots

Yes, lets us think outside the box and connect the dots. stay on your toes people cause your about to be scammed.
As we ALL know Young is worthless and is a HUGE supporter of Miller, and because of this she will grab a hold of him like a leech to push for her boyfriend the charter school he wants to create.Remember this name John Graziano.
Reminder:
WESTMINSTER  Following the mystery of his sudden departure from his former position as principal of Baldwinville Elementary School this past January, John Graziano came forward this week to talk about his concept for a brand new K-8 school that he has been privately working on for the past several months. Hmmmmm coincidence??? Doubtful.  
Also according to Templeton he is not a good Principal and does not play well .. hmm remind you of anyone ? A snake and a viper. His sudden departure was leave or be fired and the public knows deal. 
Nothing good can come out of this for Warwick and its people. Its already clear she cannot control a budget and Templeton is still crawling out from the rubble that we will crawl from if she is not removed. Miller has alienated teachers, and parents to the point they quit or refuse to send their children to PVRS , not to mention she is a known liar and has proven this over and over with newspaper ads alone. As for Young , I would not trust him to thread a needle. 
Be alert and be wise Warwick and the rest of the School committee, You have chosen many wrong paths in these last two years , this will be a fatal flaw you will not recover from and please do your homework this time so we do not have to do it for you . 

As public school enrollments shrink in Franklin County, some education leaders are thinking outside the box for alternatives to closing schools to balance the financial books.
A recent example has emerged in Warwick, where the 18-year-old Warwick Community School, built to house about 150 pupils, was down to an enrollment of 57 this past year.
This summer, David Young, a member of the Pioneer Valley Regional School Committee from Warwick, has suggested exploring conversion of the public elementary school into a semi-autonomous Horace Mann Charter School.
The chief advantage, beyond the freedom to innovate more: students from outside the district might bring $10,000 or more in tuition payments from their sending districts, about twice the amount a traditional public school receives through the Choice program.
The state created the Horace Mann charter schools in 1997 as a cross between a standard district school and a more typical “commonwealth charter school” like the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter School in Hampshire County or the Four Rivers Charter Public School in Greenfield, which have no affiliation with the local public school systems.

A Horace Mann school must be approved by the local school committee and teachers union and get its money funneled through the local school committee, but is governed by an independent board of trustees with more freedom to innovate in its programs and more flexible staffing rules.
Young said his “motivation is the revenue side of the equation,” believing the switch could put Warwick Community School on a more financially sustainable path.
At the start of the 2016-2017 school year, Warwick Community School had 57 students, of whom 23 came into the district through Choice. Whereas the district receives about $5,000 per Choice student, he explained, it could get perhaps double or more under Horace Mann.
For example, according to data updated in May by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Athol-Royalston Regional School District pays $11,169 per charter school student, and the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School District pays $13,798.
Young said he thinks Warwick Community School would have a good chance of winning state education department approval because it’s a Level I MCAS school and has a “handsome campus” and “great staff.”
There is often money available to support planning and the first two years of operation at a Horace Mann charter, as well.
Local funding would continue to come through the school district, in accordance with an agreement the district would reach with the Horace Mann school, which Young said would include providing lunch from Pioneer Regional School, as is done currently, and providing transportation. The school could also apply for private grants and receive individual contributions independent of state and local funding.
Of course, the potential financial success of the Warwick school and academic success of the students it would attract from outside the district would come at a price — to sending districts — which has always clouded the feelings about charter schools locally.
This may not be the solution, ultimately, but as Pioneer Superintendent Ruth Miller has said, “we have to start thinking about doing things differently.” She is right.
For now there’s lots to research and consider, but the prospect sounds exciting, especially if the change creates the opportunity for making the already attractive school more successful — academically and financially.
