We'd like to extend the Spanish program to Mt. Daniel next year, but have not yet found space for storing the materials. Mt. Daniel's former conference room is now a place for Special Education staff to meet with students. The teachers' lunch room is being divided to create a small conference room. The TAAP office is so tiny there is no room for a file cabinet. Art and music now share a room with music classes scheduled for early in the week and art for the end of the week.
Parking is another major concern.
Congested traffic conditions there are a major reason that we provide bus service for every student and urge all parents to use it whenever possible to promote safe conditions for all. There are even fewer off-street spaces at TJ, and curb areas nearest to the school are kept clear for bus pick up and drop off. We'll need to look at updating these areas regardless of our other decisions on facilities. Dealing with such challenges as these will not be cheap, quick or easy, but we feel confident of the community's strong support for sustaining excellent schools.
