WEST WARWICK — A week after members of the West Warwick Teachers’ Alliance did not receive their full accrued wages, they have still not been paid, according to School Committee Member Jim Williamson.

While the first three paychecks went out last Thursday, transfers from the town have not covered the two paychecks that members of the West Warwick Teachers’ Alliance are owed, according to Williamson.
