Bob Chiaradio Calls For Resignation Or Ouster Of Westerly SC Member Bowdy, Superintendent Garceau and Asst. Super. Storey Over Secrecy And Performance Failures

Westerly, RI resident and parents advocate Bob Chiaradio puts a spotlight on the back door funding to install artificial turf for Augeri field. The taxpayers had already rejected the project but the town and school committees each coughed up $500K without taxpayer approval.

Public fundraising attempts have brought in an additional $1ooK bringing the total to $1.1M for the proposed $1.4M needed. No matter how the avenues taken to pay for this project, the Westerly taxpayers will foot the bill and pay for a project they’ve rejected.

Bob calls for the resignations of former school committee chair Diane Bowdy for allegedly keeping secret the funding plans for Augeri Field, Superintendent Garceau and Assistant Superintendent over performance issues and failure to advance education scores in the public school system.
