So my ISD split me between a HS and a MS that recently reopened. I'm the only MS band director. The MS decided, without consulting me, to use the band hall as a classroom and after school enrichment "daycare". AKA added desks and tables. How do I approach this? I feel it is not OK in the slightest. I feel the band hall should reflect the goals, discipline, and culture of the program. Not as an empty classroom.

What are your thoughts and opinions?

As with everything, education is key. It's important they understand the cost of replacement of instruments that need to stay out, or anything that might get damaged in the room. The goal for you is to present it in a calm manner, even though you may be upset.

Besides replacement, it is important to show set up and tear down time as it relates to your job, and other responsibilities at the high school. Not knowing your numbers, and size of room, or the actual activities that are taking place, having a portion set aside may be the struggle till the program grows. It's hard to defend a 3,000sq ft room that houses 10 kids a class, you may be on a loosing end right now.

I'm with you on the importance, and it would be good to bring a solution to the table, not just "don't use my room".

Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations. Recently been through a rough job search and finally landed an offer with a mid size bank in their risk practice. People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.
