Did O'Keefe actually say that about special education. Robbing the other classrooms? What a cheap shot. All of the things being fought for are already written into the IEP's for these children by the School Department. State Law dictates what these children are to receive. What about response to intervention? Didn't Bacon and Edge say intervention would help reduce the cost of special ed? No intervention equals more special services equals more cost to the district. Continues the cycle. A contradiction in itself. Sounds more like he just has no tolerance for children with special needs. Where is RIDE on all of this?

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
