(Continued from Page 1) education instructor at RCHS and RCEA committee chairman on instructional needs, painted a grim picture of conditions in Rappahannock's public schools.
According to Ford, the high school has a dire need for additional space—space for a clinic, for storage, for proper cafeteria facilities, bathrooms, classrooms, the library, auditorium, parking.
“There's no clinic ...The home ec room serves as a clinic. Mrs. Wood has very little room now to teach sewing, cooking and whatever else she has to do...There's no auditorium. The gym serves as an auditorium...The seating capacity will not even take the full school enrollment.
“The biology room is too small...It has no running water, no gas,” Ford said, maintaining that the instructor cannot properly teach his class without these basic necessities.
"We can only seat 90 people in the cafeteria. We might be able to SERVE 400 but we’ve got seats for only 90,” Ford noted.
He said the school is currently split into two 45minute lunch periods with 200 students eating at a time in study hall, classes, outside wherever they can find a spot to sit down.
