Due to budget cuts and declining enrollment, the city created a new intermediate school. In order to save money they shut down the old Independence Elementary School and moved the new intermediate school into the high school’s 100 wing. At the end of each period, teachers and students could be seen rac¬ ing down the hall trying to beat the tardy bell. With fewer open rooms available many teachers had to share their rooms with other teachers during their planning period. This forced many teachers to have two or three classrooms in which they taught. As luck would have it, one of the busiest teachers. Miss Taylor, cheerleading sponsor, senior class sponsor, and boy’s cooking club sponsor, ended up having five separate rooms in which to teach. Every day, she lug¬ ged her books, pencils, pens, papers and assorted equipment, from cheerleading pins to a miniature Christmas tree, a decoration for her 3rd period class in the conference room. Many teachers commented that they felt like “teachers on wheels” and wanted to re¬ quisition roller skates. Students often asked, “Where’s your tardy pass, teach?” as teachers skip¬ ped into their next class a few seconds after the bell. Mrs. Niles relaxes after eating a salad from the catering class.
