Not unless the
International Space Station fell out of the sky and dropped on Town Hall
By Will Collette
The agenda for the second half of the Town Council’s
February agenda, Monday, February 25, is almost totally dominated by the
Chariho School District and the on-going blather over charter schools.
Rather than listen to an array of speakers demand their
right to send their kids to schools other than Chariho, I’m watching re-runs of
the Mentalist and Star Trek: Next Generation recorded on
DVR. Time much better spent.
The CCA Councilors don’t have the guts to stand up to this
nonsense. Nor do they have the strength of their convictions – indeed, they
want to simultaneously demand that Chariho cut its costs while pandering to
parents who want to waste taxpayer education dollars on inferior schooling.
You can watch tonight’s meeting on Clerkbase, presuming it’s
working, which has been a shaky presumption in recent months. Or you can read
about it in tomorrow’s Sun. Or you can wait for my snarky review when I get
around to it.
Or you can read by previous, snarky coverage by clicking here

I’m pretty sure the February 25 “conversation” about Chariho and charter
schools is going to be the same old crap, but my apologies in advance if by
some miracle, there are some new developments in this tired old story.
