The core mission of the Chariho school system is to prepare students for life. This means, students need to be proficient in reading, writing, and math. And Chariho has failed its students.

The bureaucrats of the Chariho school district are once again using Hope Valley Elementary School (HVES) as a hostage to extract more money from taxpayers.

Right now, Superintendent Gina Picard and Chairman Catherine Guisti have their ire trained on me. The attacks do not bother me. However, it is important to me that you know the truth. Because the growing leviathan of Chariho is drowning people financially by pricing them out of their own homes.
Catherine Guisi is the architect and biggest cheerleader for Hopkinton’s high taxes. As chairwoman of the Chariho School Committee, she knows, perfectly well, that Chariho’s budget is the highest it’s ever been. She also knows that enrollment has never been lower.
