WARWICK, R.I. — Classes were disrupted today as 87 Warwick School teachers, including 33 at Warwick Veterans Middle School, called out sick, the cause of which was a point of disagreement between Superintendent Phil Thornton and Warwick Teachers Union Darleen Netcoh, representing opposing sides in a drawn-out labor dispute.
Jennifer St. Jean’s Change.org petition encouraging people to register a vote of no confidence in the leadership of Superintendent Phil Thornton is more about changing top school officials’ approach to running the district, she says, not removing the education chief from his position.
Warwick Public Schools alerted parents in an email Thursday about two reports of suspicious men approaching children in the Norwood section of the city.
