    Bad News For School Year 2003-2004
    shared by Jezzy


    Due to the projected increase in workload in the coming year due to the new master schedule and the No Child Left Behind Act, the district has decided that it can no longer afford for you to take time out of your busy schedule to go to the restroom. Instead, to increase teacher efficiency the district has gone to considerable expense to remodel your classroom over the summer to accommodate your restroom needs starting in August.
    See classroom layout below.
