Reasons to Vote No.
Reasons to Vote No As a lifelong educator I have been observing and studying the current debate over the proposed School building projects and the upcoming Bond Vote on May 4th. We need caution here, because if this plan is approved, this will be the limit of what the town can borrow. It is well known that the foundation of a great education is one based in cutting edge programs and inspiring teachers. There are some who say they are for this new building because it will create “a center for green, intellectually stimulating education… for thinking and civic engagement, for a sustainable and an egalitarian world.” Impressive words, however, all of these incredibly important, essential goals are based on programming and excellence in teaching, and not based on a building. If this is now not the case, a building will not change that. With vision, one can see that living here in Southern R.I., we have everything we need to teach our students sustainability
