And could someone please tell me why a man (Nero) who has spent over 30 years in the Cranston School System needed a “consultant” to help him transition? Can you spell C*H*A*R*T*E*R S*C*H*O*O*L?!

Come on school committtee members, maybe Aram is right!

In this case, where are his thoughts on why Mr. Sherza has been kept on the school payroll as a “consultant” on the Caruolo lawsuit after his retirement?

I also wonder why, after all of his years on the school board, Mr. Stycos is only now learning about the automatic-extension clause that is boilerplate language in most superintendents’ contracts.

While I agree that $25,000 is a small price to pay to end Mr. Sherza’s mismanagement and obstructionism, that is not the only money he is collecting — and his influence on the school department has not truly ended.
