school, Brion Patterson, said that the plan would be inadequate for the science needs. “We need two new labs, and the idea of alternating the use of the one room from a lab to a lecture room is not good,” Patterson said. “Alternating between the two means doing one or the other, and that is poor instruction.”
“The program chart with all of the information on how many classes there are with how many children didn’t show a need for three rooms for science,” Ervin said. “The suggestion for two rooms in all came from the state.” There is already one science lab at the high school.
Susan Bloss, another of the science teachers, asked if a modified science room lay-out could provide additional desks equipped with water and gas. “If we’re going to do this, we should do it right,” Bloss said.
Debbie Harris Foltz, the special education teacher, expressed concern about the isolation of the proposed special education classroom. “We don’t want to isolate the room, and we’ll do our best to avoid that,” said Estabrook.
