New windows in school library.

[red]

I heard the library might be putting in new windows. They would be placed so you would see into the school hallway. What would they do with the shelves there. If this is correct why.

I recently spoke with an administrator about this.  I was told the school board gave them the go ahead to collect bids on the cost of frosted windows in the library along the top of the wall that runs along the MS/HS hallway and for windows in the main office along that same hallway.  He said the funds were not in the FY 2012 budget that was just voted on, but would most likely come from this year's current budget or the capital improvement fund if the board gave approval after all bids were in and discussion occurred on the topic.

He said the office windows would be to improve office function...no one knows its there and makes hallway supervision a challenge.  As for the library, mainly to allow in more light and make it more inviting.  There would be impact on shelves; although he said they would try to minimize that impact.

That's all the info I have on it...hopefully that helps answer your question!

Interesting.  I'm curious how frosted windows can help with hallway supervison.

Thanks for the explanation though!

Sorry for the confusion:  the frosted windows are for the library.  The improved supervision would be the office windows that would be larger and not frosted!!!
