The Warwick Beacon, the Rotary Club of Warwick, and the Central Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce, Inc. invite you to a Community Forum.

There are plenty of questions about the $350 million school bond appearing on the November ballot.  There are answers.  Join us to learn more, and ask your questions.

Questions currently being asked and will be addressed include:

  • Why do we need 2 new high schools when enrollment is dropping?
  • How did we get to this point of two new schools?
  • How much of the projected $350 million cost of the schools will be reimbursed?
  • What will new schools give Warwick that it doesn’t have now?
  • What will it cost taxpayers to build the new schools?
  • If we don’t build the schools now, is there any guarantee of reimbursement from the state?
  • What happens if $350 million isn’t enough to build the schools?
  • Do we know now if $350 million is enough to build the schools?
  • Could we build one new school and then see if there’s money to build the second?
  • What is the projected cost of keeping the old schools – fixing enough to keep them operational?
