I was just told today that i have to move all my program materials from the stage where i store them. This is all the materials to run 20 programs serving over 200 youth. I have 3 rolling carts, 2 trash cans that hold all the sports equipment, a wagon with laundry baskets that are required by licensing and a book cart. have a small office for my assistant and I with one outlet and as much as we can fit for supplies in the room. I literally sit on the floor when i need the printer. I have not been offered any new space, just sympathetic looks as i plan on putting things in a hallway where they are often stolen.
The reason, the music teacher needs to protect the integrity of the stage by having no storage even behind the backck curtain. Most of this is coming to me in roundabout ways, such as passing a message through the office staff or talking to my assistant. The music teacher did finally talk to me, and when i asked for a time when i need to move by (i bave 3 camp days of 12 hours each) she said that i should talk to the principal because someone was going to move them. Such wonderful understanding, oh yeah, i pay for her choir. Takes balls to look me in the eye and not be willing to compromise and then hand me her time sheet. I know that after school programs don't have a lot of status, but i also considered her a friend.
